What’s the worst that can happen - you can always proof you sold it to law enforcement - the only thing you did is break reddits AGB so they can bam the account that’s not yours anymore
Having to deal with law enforcement is not worth the $100.
Like, they are going to charge you and you will have to prove it in court probably. Then they may try to claim that you had an existing relationship with the person you sold it to. Then have a jury trial and hope for the best.
I mean that’s highly unlikely, but $100 is not worth that potential.
Being charged and having to show up in court seems like the smaller issues. Cops breaking down your door and seizing all electronic devices, giving them back god knows when and with god knows what data remaining, new stuff in there is far worse imo.
I don’t live in America, but use an American bank. I’d imagine that I’d have to fly back and forth all the time to deal with it. I didn’t even consider have my stuff seized.

That’s pretty interesting, but it doesn’t seem like enough money to be worth the shadiness of the whole thing.
The buyer would probably be into some shady stuff and they will come looking for me. Haha I guess I’m just too paranoid.

You can use services like Shredding to clear your account before the sale then it’s just an empty account but still has the age and karma
