Brewsters Millions

[AndysDaddy]

Several "illegal" methods already posited:
- Buy expensive (thing), destroy it - expresly prohibited
- Throw lavish parties - Could be considered giving assets away (limited by a specific clause). Note that he did give several lavish parties, probably within the limits.
- Give away $1,000 cigars (already mentioned)
- Over pay for consumables (like BJs) (already mentioned)

Suggestions that just wouldn't work
- Buy new cars, sell them legitimately as used - That's a lot of used cars, and you'd have to repeat this exercise a lot as the sales would still generate significant monies.
- Buy mansion, screw the contest, keep the mansion - Are you aware that the prize for success was $300 million?
- Prostitutes - Ouch! I don't think I'd have that kind of stamina!

My favorites:
- Buy expensive, rare coins and stamps, use them for their originally intended purpose. As noted, this was done in the movie, with success.
- Invest poorly. This was attempted in the movie, but failed spectacularly. I think he gave up on the idea too easily. (I know - its a movie!)
- Run for a highly coveted public office. I agree - he could have dumped the entire 30 mil here fairly easily.
