I guess i took this too seriously. It is, obviously, a comedy, so what happens is for laughs. From my perspective, the result was ridiculous. Once the vultures decided to engage with one another over the promise of money, that was it for me. Sam had the right to do what he wanted. If he had any integrity at all he could have sorted things out at a future time. The poor guy who was dying ends up with the money and it will go to some government agency.
