Comment on Anon is going to be rich

  It could be constructed as an attempt at bribery. You see, when you bribe somebody, you can’t just go up to them, and tell them “Here’s a hundred bucks, look the other way”. Because, what if you’re an undercover cop? You need to offer the money in a way that offers plausible deniability. So, the next step could be to show a poorly counterfeited id that says you’re only 21, with the implied subtext being, “I’m giving you 100$, but in exchange you don’t look too closely at my false id”. Of course, there’s always a risk that the person you’re trying to bribe doesn’t catch on.

    Yeah but then if they pass your id and agree to the bribery they’ll give you the 100$? It’s the wrong way around to be bribary.

    Bribary needs pass and pay, this is pass or pay. The incentive for the storekeeper is to not sell to you and get the money.

      The bet is that Anon is 24, but if the id says they’re 21, then they’re of drinking age, but still lose the bet, so the clerk gets the money. ID is passed, and money is paid.

        I see. That does seem far fetched though, and really only holds any plausability once your ID doesn’t match your own claim.
