    Hope of reward should not determine your honesty!

    You must know some cheap royals, it's only £240,000 which is less than Prince Charles spent on a flight to South Africa according to this page: How much does the UK royal family cost? - BT

    I remember when my stock portfolio went up by a huge amount, in fact it had gone down by a huge amount a couple of years earlier, and then later I got a letter asking me to justify where all that "wealth" had come from. That was in Switzerland where I simply declared my portfolio as you do on a routine basis.

    In other words if you found 70 million on a pavement and it ends up as part of your wealth someone is going to be asking questions.

    ...and if you suddenly appear in another country then at some point you are going to be filling out a tax return and you will be living in a big house and you work as a cleaner, someone is going to be asking you some difficult questions.
