IS there a reason it has to be $485 Million? If it is drug money they do move it but not all together. a smaller amount might be more believable. If your are 18 and broke even $5 million is going to have a huge impact

I like the general premise: that money, enough money to enable him to dramatically change his life, suddenly shows up in his bank account. Maybe its drug money deposited in the wrong account. Maybe the orphan takes the money and runs with the drug mob and the Feds in hot pursuit. Or some such.

What I have difficulty swallowing is the amount. $485 billion isn't believable --- unless the genre is fantasy or absurdist, like it's all happening in a dream, or a parallel universe.
