After being arrested for robbery, Quinn hired the best lawyer in town. …
…
“Look,” Quinn said, “I’ve got nearly a million in cash in my bank safety deposit box. Can you get me off?”
The lawyer smiled and said, “Believe me, pal, you will never go to prison with that kind of money.”
And sure enough, he didn’t. He went to prison flat broke.
(BTW, the lawyer has a new house in a very upscale neighborhood.)
