男子寧願把錢燒了,也不願支付給前妻和孩子

Man Burns $1 Million To Avoid Paying it to His Wife and Child

男子寧願燒燬100萬加元,也不願支付給前妻和孩子

In Canadian money, but still. And also, who does that?

即便是加元，但依然令人震驚啊。而且，誰會做這種損人不利己的事情呢？

He started with 30 days in jail, after confessing to the judge that he burned 1 million Canadian dollars in cash, so that he didn't have to pay child or spousal support due to a divorce settlement

男子向法官承認，他燒掉了100萬加元的現金，目的是讓前妻或孩子在離婚協議中無法分走這筆錢。隨後，該男子被判30天監禁。

Bruce McConville, 55, said in Ottawa Superior Court last week that he withdrew about $750,000 in American dollars in 25 separate withdrawals from six different accounts. He says that he burned $743,000 on Sept. 23 and $296,000 on Dec. 15, inn two separate bonfires.

上週，55歲的布魯斯·麥康維爾（Bruce McConville）在渥太華高級法院上說道，他從6個不同的銀行賬戶中分25次提取了現金，共計75萬美元。而後分兩次燒燬：9月23日燒燬74.3萬加元，12月15日燒燬29.6加元。

He claims that he has the receipts to prove the amount of money that he took out of the account. He does not have proof of the bonfires though, or any witnesses.

他稱自己只有從銀行取錢的收據證明，但無法提供現金被燒燬的證據，沒有人可以爲他作證。

"Can I back you up a bit? When you say you destroyed it, what do you mean?" Superior Court Justice Kevin Phillips asked, to which McConville replied: "I burnt it."

“請問你說毀掉這筆錢是什麼意思？”最高法院法官凱文·菲利普斯（Kevin Phillips）問道。麥康維爾回道：“我燒了它。”

"It's not something that I would normally do," McConville said, according to Ottawa Citizen. "I am not a person that is extremely materialistic. A little goes a long way. I have always been frugal. That's why my business lasted for 31 years."

“通常，我並不會幹這種事，”渥太華市民麥康維爾說道。“我並不是極端唯物主義者。我的財富都是一點點累積起來的。我一直生活得很節儉，這也是我的生意可以經營31年的原因。”

"I don't believe you. I don't trust you. I don't think you're honest," the judge told him. "I find what you have done to be morally reprehensible because what you claim to have done willfully and directly undermines the interests of your children."

“我不信，我認爲你沒說實話，”法官對他說道。“我認爲你所做之事在道德上是要遭受譴責的，因爲你一直強調這麼做是故意的，是侵害孩子切身利益的。”

Some of the money earned was from a sale of properties and businesses to his accountant, which is a direct violation of the court order to not sell his assets. McConville also refuses to file an affidavit to the court disclosing his finances.

這筆錢有一部分源於房產出售，一部分源於其所經營的產業，而這直接違反了法院不允許其出售資產的命令。麥康維爾還拒絕向法院提交披露其財務狀況的宣誓書。
