What would you have done?

What should he have done?

Williams said he went as far as inspecting the bag that the funds was in, and found an identification card with the picture of the man who was asking around.

"When I saw all of that I, decided to return the money," Williams told the Observer.

He never imagined that his act of honesty would almost cost him his life.

Williams said the first thing that happened was that the owner of the $100,000 gave him "a measly $100" for his troubles.

"After I gave back the funds the man who lost the money gave me $100 dollars," said a dejected Williams.

But things got worse when news about his return of the money began to circulate around the community.

Williams said since that time he has been subjected to several verbal attacks from residents of the area.

One time I found some money in Ja and I thought about keeping it but it bother me so much I gave the conductor of the bus. All I kept thinking was I may stop a family or a baby from eating.

Nuff people a go say mi wi keep it but.......

I always feel like returning such things but I am concerned that the person I give it to will not do the right thing or is unable to find who lost it. When faced with that dilemma, I may as well pocket it!

I would change it out into US currency!
A joke,I likely would have returned it but this is where it gets crazy,if I find US$2mil,it was God that put it there for me,good morning Portia!

I would really like to say that in hindsight he should have kept it, seeing the owner's "reward" demonstrated ungratefulness... but he did the right thing!

Big up Sagicor for rewarding the youth when they got wind of the story. Good things still happen. Without equivocation he did the right thing:

Most companies write their values in a handbook, which usually sits and collects dust.

However, Sagicor recently showed that it is a company that lives up to its organizational values.

The financial institution, after getting wind of a story that a nineteen-year-old man who was chastised by his community, after he returned a bag of money he found while walking, decided to reward the young man.

The company rewarded the young man, Jabary Williams, for his honesty, pledging their support to help the young man who works at a bakery to further advance his skill set.

In addition, Sagicor has facilitated a vacation weekend for the teen and his family at the Jewel resort, along with helping Williams to start a savings account.

Two of Sagicor’s core values are respect and integrity, values that many who heard Williams’ story online, said that the teen portrayed through his actions.

The company has been praised online for embracing and empowering the once vilified young man; with one commentator adding that such a display on behalf of the financial institution will motivate and inspire people’s actions and impact their decision making.

Others on social media pointed out that too often the society reinforces bad behaviours, as such they were delighted to see a Jamaican company supporting and reinforcing good values.

Sagicor Group Jamaica is a full-service financial institution, that has entrenched in its mission statement, a commitment to improving the lives of the people in the communities in which they operate.

Big up to Sagicor for this gesture... I didn't know.

The community should be chastised for their covetous behaviour.
