Deal or no deal, Tom?

[Stand-ins for whole bags, one of which contains $50,000.]

I step away from current events for a couple of days and come back to the news of Tom Homan accepting a $50,000 bribe from undercover FBI agents. The money was in a bag from the restaurant chain Cava. The investigation was stopped by the current occupant’s Department of Justice. And there is much more news.

Deal or No Deal featured twenty-six briefcases. In the interest of symmetry, I’ve opted for twenty-five bags, or stand-ins for whole bags.
