Or just take the money and still prosecute and never mention the money.

Someone handed out $120,000? wow, I hope they find that money

The kinds of people that hand you $120,000 in exchange for criminal behavior aren't the kinds of people to just shrug their shoulders and be okay with you stealing it.
