Man finds out celebrating $96K settlement with hookers was a bad idea
It's so crazy what happened - who could have seen it coming? Just a wholesome celebration gone awry.

“I am haunted by this,” said Vellegas. “I keep playing it over in my mind. I was surprised they pulled a gun. I said ‘What is going on. I yelled help,help. I was depending on that money to move my family

So you celebrate by getting two hookers vs going home to your family.... yeah.. uh huh..

The only thing that I found surprising in this article was that the pimps drove off in a "minivan". WTF is the world coming to?

I wonder if he had already paid the taxes on it before it was stolen or if he is still on the hook for them.

No tax levied on an accident settlement. (Pennsylvania or Arizona)

"Victim Saul Mata Vellegas — who was carrying the entire sum in a suitcase"

Victim? really? Dupe certainly, but victim? This wasn't an accident it was a sure thing.

He should have consulted with an attorney on how to properly celebrate a windfall with hookers. The attorney could have even suggested the addition of blow to the celebration if said attorney happened to be a SigForum member.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

Police are so stupid, have a sketch artist draw up the gun the victim keeps seeing over and over in his head and cross check that against the 38 permit holders allowed to own a firearm in NYC who have a black van. Voila! Case closed.

Who gets settlements in cash?

An insurance company surely isn't sending an adjuster out with a manilla envelope with cash in it...

I think what is important here is that we all take away a lesson from this. Vices are bad and cause bad things to happen. Obviously, he needs to give up smoking and drinking beer!!
