my first answer was not to take it, even tho it would be wonderful to have a billion dollars but how could you tell that persons family that their loved one died bc you were selfish to take the money. aww that one is hard tho!

I wouldn't take it as I couldn't have that hanging over me for the rest of my life.
But I would ask if I could know who would get killed, and then make the decision from there.
Even if it was someone I didn't know, I wouldn't take the money, sure people die everyday but thats due to diseases, injuries, or old-age. Not just because someone took some money.
anonymously? never!

Take it unless one of my loved ones was the one that was going to be killed. Than I would turn it down. If it was a complete stranger, I would take it in a heart beat

i wouldn't take a billion if nothing happened,ya just have to work harder to keep it and that is not my line of work,moreover there is a proverb that says something like riches gained hastily will not be blessed in the end

Could not do it. Money is only a tool, but the LOVE of money causes a lot of grief.

Depends on if I knew who was going to be killed. If it was Bin Laden, no problem. If it was my wife, to hell with that. I'd rather be poor.

Depends on who it was. Saddam Insane? That's a no-brainer.

I honestly wouldn't take it. That means someone died because of you. I wish death on noone!
