Is this the reasoning behind the term "Dead Ringer"?

The right or wrong thing is not applicable in this case. If you open your wallet and look at the cash, there are unique serial numbers on each bill. These don't just exist for funsies. The minute this guy would have tried to spend the cash or deposite into his own bank account, the feds would have been on him like stink on shit. Returning the money was his only real option.
That's why I would keep it all physically somewhere in my house. When you go to a grocery store or a restaurant, how often does the waiter or cashier look at the serial number? Never.
And besides, putting 140k into your account would be stupid and highly suspicious. If a regular working man suddenly got 140k in his checking account one day, that would raise a lot of flags.
