Well, if it was a billion, I wouldn't think twice about it. My father could have been the son of satan - but that much money could do a lot of good. If we are being more realistic - let's say one million - it would depend on what kind of relationship I had with him. Assuming I had not seen him for 50 years, I would think it was pretty bad, so I'd probably walk away. At the same time - 1 million dollars will probably pay for at least 2 years of college by the time my kids are old enough. ;)
