They honestly would have gotten away with it if that had given the dude like 75%.

Dude probably would have been happy and they got a bunch of cash. Their next worry would be explaining it on taxes.

The dude was in on the scam, so it's hard to say if he would have ever been happy and not just chased for more money.

Also it's not unlikely the gofundme by itself is enough to settle the tax question. Very few situations actually get a full investigated audit.

They gave the dude 20% and he wanted more. I bet if they had either split it 50/50 or given the majority he would have been happy.

How do you know? This was obviously a highly unstable and impulsive man since him pressing charges against them is what lead to all of them getting caught to begin with.

He got a massive amount of money for doing absolutely nothing. It's hard to believe he wouldn't have continued asking for more even if they gave him 90%.
