If he's from the future, then he must have known that he was going to get caught. If he didn't, then he has already changed history which will alter his "future". So he has nothing to go back to, so we might as well throw him in the slammer for life, because it won't matter. He will be born in two hundred years from now and history will prove that he is wasting his time going into the past. And even if he gets away with his 350 Mil it won't be worth squat by the time he gets back because of inflation...So this guy is hosed no matter what happens to him. OK beam me up Scotty, there is no intellegent life here.

Yes IC, but let's say he took that 350 Million and purchased something he knew would be worth Trillions in his "timeline", and then had his "Family" named as the beneficiary of that profit.

Again, not in his timeline (yet).
And even if he gets away with his 350 Mil it won't be worth squat by the time he gets back because of inflation.
No, if he places this in an estate, passed through a password, as time passes, inflation and currency changes (if applicable) would automatically adjust. In the future, he would have much more than the $350 Million he used as seed money way back in 2003.
