Today, my brother robbed someone. The victim spoke with me and said that if his $1500 was paid back, he wouldn’t press charges. After I gave him the money, I questioned my brother until he admitted doing it. He only took $200. FML

Yeah, there was no robbery. You were played. Sounds like they were working together.

Yeah... that's criminal extortion. In fact, simply saying "Do X, or I'll call the police" is generally considered extortion. So even if they asked the correct amount they'd still be committing a crime.

Well, for what it's worth, depending on what he stole they might both be right. The replacement value is usually going to be higher than fenced. My uncle broke into our house and stole some antique coins worth hundreds. Including lock the damage was in the thousands. He pawned about half of them for not much more than face value and made like $400.

You are not responsible for keeping your brother out of prison. If he can't keep himself out of prison, it's not for you.

Should have made your brother pay him back.

Why is it your job to bail your brother out? Your heart was in the right place, but at the same time, no good deed goes unpunished.

Why would you enable your brother's thievery? You so deserve that play and if I was the guy he robbed I would press charges on both of you.

YDI...I would've said no skin off my back, walked away, and let my sibling get what they deserved.
