A man who posted about £16,500 in a plastic kettle ... Dillon Atkin, 27, owed his former dealer £2,000 and was told to post the package on 21 October 2020 to write off the debt.

Either Dillon Atkin is completely innumerate or it wasn't about a £2,000 debt, or there's something to this story that didn't get mentioned in the brief article. Or interest on drug debts is almost as bad as an unarranged overdraft

It would've been way less risky to have him just carry the 16 grand to the recipient to erase his debt.

He claims he didn't realize there was that much money in the kettle. So who put the money in it?

I hadn't thought about it before but it's kinda funny that using forum terminology like "posting" and "posters" must sound extra weird to Brits, or maybe it doesn't even sound weird and they just have a different perfectly serviceable mental metaphor than I do

Not really, "post" can still mean "put up a notice" here too so we just use that mental metaphor and not the mailing one.

I wouldn't be too surprised if both the drug dealer and his debtor were both completely innumerate. One time I lived at number 3 Suchandsuch Ave. and several times the drug dealer for the pillheads next door knocked on my door asking me if this was number 5. No it's number 3 I'd say and gesture to the number 3 on the front door.

To be fair, that could be an upside down E, and E is the fifth letter in the alphabet.

Who the gently caress ticks both boxes of:
- has £16,000 in their bank account
- is too dumb to know the difference between £2000 and £16000?

The guy who gave it to him. Atkins was told to accept a kettle full of cash from a third party and mail it to the drug dealer. This isn't a case of Atkins trying to pay off a £2000 debt with £16000 of his own money, this is the drug dealer telling Atkins "if you do this favor for me, I'll consider your debt repaid".

Yes sorry but to be clear my previous post was rhetorical. The guy isn't so dumb he accidentally posted £16500 of his own money instead of the £2000. The guy owed his dealer £2000 and was coerced into sending this thing for him:

Deemster Graeme Cook said he had been "dragged into this ridiculous escapade" because he had "given way to intimidation" and both "rehabilitation and punishment" were needed.

Historically speaking, just make a bunch of noise and get out of their way, elephants aren't smart enough not to just keep charging past you.
