What if it were 100? Or 1000? or 10000? or 100000?

At what point do you ask questions?

    I suppose you could pose the question differently. Who would you give 10,100,1000 to if they said they needed it but they said no questions asked.

      Hmm. Probably no one.

      Small amounts are weird to need “no questions asked” and large amounts are too large to give away “no questions asked”. Partly for me financially, but mostly because there is a not insignificant risk of overdose if you give out large sums of money to someone being cagey about why they need it.

      If they can’t tell me what a significant amount of money is for, it’s probably because it’s something I don’t want my money to go to, so I’m not inclined to agree under those premises.

      At the least I would need a very good reason for why I can’t ask questions (“I’m preparing to vacation as a fugitive, and don’t want you to have to testify”), but by then there is no longer no questions asked…
