  The man found a suitcase with $200,000 Reais inside, the equivalent to about $80,000 dolars and returned it to the owner the next day.
  
  The Awake! editors must be furious: the man was not a JW.

  heheh, I think if you could catch an Awake writer in a candid moment, you might hear him say, "well he is now".

  Even if the guy was a JW the Awake! would never have published a story about it because the elders would have instructed they guy to put the money in the World Wide Work donation box.

  About a week later all of the elders would have shown up at the meeting with new cars.

  Later, he discovered he'd failed to carry the one in making the currency exchange in his head, and the dollar amount was substantially more than the $8 he originally calculated.

  They could very well try to convert the man and then tell his story in the Awake!, retroactvely... everything for a good witnessing...
