I agree that this is an incredibly Christian gesture. Idealistic maybe, but nobly motivated.
I would endorse it with one proviso: the money will be there for you, provided you come forward, confess your crime to the authorities, and accept the consequences. You don’t get rewarded for being a criminal, at least not until you’ve paid society back. Prove to me that you’re at least that responsible and I’ll pony up for your education.
Coming forward and confessing the crime was one of the requirements Dr.Ho stipulated. It was mentioned in the article.
