Found Cash Case #2 Man finds $640,000, actually returns it.

Way back in 2001, when $640,000 was real money, Mark Morant, 38, had a pretty good day. Mark, who had two jobs as a security guard, was walking one morning outside of the downtown Cleveland building where he worked when, three, 42-pound bundles of cash fell out of the back of an armored truck. What did Mark due? Well, he returned all $640,000 two days later, with the cash still wrapped in plastic. Did he think about keeping it? There were some hints that he may have seriously considered it. Ken Kennard, security director of the Federal Reserve Bank, said Mark called from a nearby pay phone before he arrived with the money to say he was “concerned and worried, and wanted to know what to do.”

“He said he had the money, and he was concerned that he may not have done the right thing. And he wanted some help and guidance as to what to do,” Kennard said. Kennard talked to Mark for a few minutes and persuaded him to come into the bank.

A word of advice, if you are looking for a neutral person to help you work through whether or not to return more than half a million dollars, probably the OWNER of the money isn’t the most unbiased confidant to listen to.

News reports about the missing money, statements that the money was marked, along with the FBI’s release of a description given by a witness who reported seeing a well-dressed man pick up the packages at the busy intersection all “put the pressure on this guy to turn it in,” FBI agent Stu Shoaff said. Apparently there are only a couple of well-dressed men in Cleveland leaving him easily identifiable.

Man who found $640,000 from armored truck to get $75,000 CLEVELAND (AP) — Mark Morant got lucky twice.

On Wednesday the 38-year-old was walking his downtown beat as a part-time security guard when the back door of an armored truck came open and three bundles of cash fell out.

Morant took the $640,000 to his car, knowing he said, that security cameras were trained on the street and recording his actions.

On Monday, the FBI announced Morant would get the $75,000 finders fee, even though he didn’t return the cash for two days.

“He did the right thing,” said Van Harp, head of the FBI office in Cleveland, “although, like I said, it was two days later.”

The FBI announcement came after Morant held a news conference Sunday and pleaded with AT Systems Inc., operator of the armored truck, to keep its pledge and reward him for returning the money.

The FBI began publicizing a tipster’s description of Morant a day after the incident when the money wasn’t returned. By Friday, Morant arranged to hand over the cash at the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.

The tipster was given a $10,000 reward, Harp said.

Morant said he wanted to return the money earlier but didn’t know where he should take it.

Format Title: Women who have multiply deployments in the military.

Logline: I in vision this project to be about women who have deployed in the military, with at least two full tours. The deployments actually have affected or changed her way of normally living. The project follows women who decided to exit the military and women who made the decision to stay in the military, who have significant stories to tell about personal experiences.

Description:
Women in the military have several issues that they must deal with, the military has it’s own world and way of doing things. Sexisum, racism, and unfair treatment still exist in the military, but sometimes things are done underhanded due to legal repercussions. The negative words are not actually said to women and sometimes they are boldly put into words by the men around them behind closed doors. Some women are put into situation where they feel unwanted at a unit or made to feel like a outcast, (not one of the boys). Women also have health issues in the military but, when duty calls health situations maybe put on hold for duty. Other times it can be other women who are in top positions causing problems to women they supervise, due to pressure.
Facilities may not have been provided to these women for hygiene and it was covered up. The people above them that should mentor them for success are causing them stress and trying to put them out of the military or give them negative evaluations. Women are often undermined in the military by peers and you deploy side by side with the same persons to combat zones. This show will actually have women telling there stories and what they are going through or went through in the military. We always hear about the good things but, in the military the majority of the women do have a story to tell and you would be suprised at the negetive that exist in this mans world. Some women may both positive and negative stories to submit but, alot to overcome. Women in the military do not get the credit they deserve.
