If you found a ton of cash and no one was around, what would you do?
Steven Ledo, a worker at Miriam Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island, came face to face with this moral dilemma when he chanced upon an unusual case of “money laundering” one day in July 2017.
On that particular day, when Ledo was doing the laundry in the hospital’s laundry room, something bizarre happened. He saw numerous $50 and $100 bills, and some $20, $10, $5, and $1 notes flowing out of the door of an opened dryer.
“The door was open, and I saw money falling onto the floor,” Ledo told WPRI.
And it wasn’t just one or two bills, there was “tons of money in there.” Ledo tried calling his boss to inform him about the money, but “the phone didn’t work.”
Ledo ended up getting down on all fours to pick up the money, and he counted $9,100 in total.
“I’ve never had that much money in my hands,” Ledo said.
Yet, Ledo wasn’t even a little bit tempted to keep the money, which he could have done since no one was in the room when it happened.
