There's a place for thieves with a guilty conscience
to return money to the government anonymously
Chris Weller Mar. 12, 2017

How do you clear a guilty conscience? For one American, it meant repaying his debts by returning $0.09 to the US Treasury. For another, it meant sending the government $155,502. And we don't know what they did because it was all done anonymously.


For more than 200 years, the Treasury has had a place for those with gnawing guilt to send cash and perhaps absolve them of their sins. It's known as the Conscience Fund.

Interesting that towards the end of the article it says that deposits to the Conscience Account have plummeted by almost 98% in recent years. What's up with that??

In that case I'd highly recommend seeing the old black and white movie "Sergeant York" LINK, or the newly released movie "Hacksaw Ridge" LINK. Both movies are awesome! :)
