Lay around and wait to be eroded or reshaped by natural processes.

Using TP to get money would take to long, assuming you wanted to remain under the radar.

Then I suppose it is not in the category of a machine.

Telepathy is probably the easiest one to remain under the radar with and still quickly get money.

"Go buy me that."
"Give me this."
"[Insert rich businessman/woman], buy me a vacation home."
"I want your taco."

I don't see how ripping apart ATM machines is more discreet...

Yea...must people with real wealth also have thing like accountants, business managers etc and aren’t exactly easy to get close to, with technopathy you just ask the nice computer for the next winning lottery numbers and then buy a ticket.

Mush easier.

With telepathy any of them would be extremely easy to get close to.

Assuming you even had to go their place of work to begin with...

"Take me to your boss."

Also, I think the winning lotto numbers are generated the night the winner is announced. Asking the computer won't help.

Nope, just ask Google, Bing etc for the info. You wouldn't even have to leave your house.

Or if that is too much trouble, just ask an atm to give you some money.

You'd have to find the computer first. And it's not like all computers are connected to the internet.

You could also ask the nice big corporations computer to transfer you a few million dollars and then erase the record or go to a casino and ask which of the machines are about to pay-out.

How do you erase the record of a major financial transaction? You'll have to get the money from a bank eventually, and when that happens someone is going to ask questions.

Also your ambitions are incredibly small if all you can think about is using your powers to get money.

Erasing the transaction from the corporations computer means they won't have a way to track where it went.

Except they'll know how much they lost next time they check and when you withdraw that amount at a bank they'll put two and two together.

Why would I withdraw all the money at once and even if I did, how would the corporation find out?

They'd find out because the bank would need to have a record of the transfer of money from the corporation to your bank account. Remeber you're not stealing tangible money so much as numbers in a computer file. If you erase all the evidence you don't get peanuts.

Why would the bank tell them?

I'm saying the winning numbers don't exist until the exact moment the computer generates them: i.e. when the winning numbers are announced. You'd need to already have a winning ticket then.

Meh, still seems easier to just get people to do it. It's useful basically anywhere. No need to be near an ATM.

You wouldn't have to worry about covering your tracks much with telepathy. Have Oprah give you millions; if questioned, you two are dating.

Silent Master Senior Member

Same with going to a casino and you wouldn't have to pretend to date Oprah.

Why wouldn't they? Contrary to popular opinion not all bankers are amoral douchebags.

marwash22 HELL YEAH.

why go through all this nonsense when you can just choose telepathy and kindly ask people to give you money.
