Get sued for slander and copyright infringement. At a penalty of 10000 an illegal song download you could spend the day stealing music and then call the fbi on yourself and pay the fine to get out of prison. You could blow through 30 million an hour with enough bandwith
shareWhat a crappy movie that would be though.
Also this was before Al Gore invented the internet. And if/when they decide to remake this for the billionth time they should have in there something about how you can't break the law.
But you know hoe much "bad luck" Brewster had in losing his money. You have a viable idea, much like Brewster had whe he founded this iceberg company. In your case (let's assume there were such things as mp3 downloads in 1985) he would probably be fined considerably less because he called the FBI by himself or something like this.
Also, I may be wrong, but wasn't one of the rules that he can't do illegal things with the money?
What I would do:
Use all the money to fund extended excarvations on Oak Island. First he has to buy the excarvation rights (which don't count as owning anything I guess, if they do count, he could buy them for 29 days) and then rent tons of quipment and hire lots of workers and pay everything in advance. The mystery of Oak Island always fascinated me. I will either find nothing and get the 300 million or I will solve the secret and find the treasure so it's okay if I miss the 300 million.

Why not just lease an island or something, or at least a super high class hotel anywhere in the world, and fly in bands and friends and other workers/entertainers from around the world with the best food and booze money can buy. Wouldn't that be within the rules as long as he had receipts for everything he paid for?
I'd contact every major entertainer I can think of and offer them mad money to come within the time frame. I'd have Michael Buffer intro the proceedings with his million dollar catch phrase. I'd spend over a million on dancing girls alone, legal and covered by receipt of course, and fly in several of the best chefs I can find on short notice. I'm pretty sure Mike Tyson has thrown parties in the 30 million dollar range. I could get there. Of course, to be a true parallel to the movie, there would have to be considerable adjustment for inflation.
What if he made a movie and overpaid everybody? That's what usually happens anyway, right?
I don't know if it counts as charity, but he could visit a bunch of different hospitals, see who needs money for operations and paid for them. Or put an ad out saying he will pay for anyone's breast implants or liposuction within the next 30 days. That 30 mill is as good as gone.

One way to spend the money is to go into the inner city of lets say, Milwaukee, screem, I have $10 million in my pocket and let the people steal it. Of course, this could result in you getting murdered but if you don't get killed, then you're golden!!

The hospital idea would count as charity. He would be limited to giving away 5% of his money this way. The movie idea is good provided that the movie is a dismal failure and he could complete it in less than 30 days. Remember, he can't have any assets after the 30 days are up.
The movie, "The Producers" had a scheme in which they sold more than 100% of the rights to a movie. If it failed, they would be rich. Unfortunely, it was a comedy hit and they went to jail. With Brewster's luck, the movie would be a hit and he would lose his inheritance.
Yeah I saw the Producers (the original one) and I was just joking about the movie idea. I did the math on the breast implants idea and, assuming Silicone implants were about $6,500 bucks a pop, we're looking at around 4,620 women who'd need to get the implants.
But I'm sure you could hire a whole bunch of people to call up each woman, drive them to and from the clinic, pay for hotel rooms and such, get that number knocked down even more. And you could throw a party by renting out a big football stadium and invite all the women and pay people to show up and pay people to clean the place up afterwards and damage the stadium so you'd have to pay to get it fixed and all types of crazy stuff. Just hiring Beyonce to sing at the stay would clear out about $10 million or more right there!

The implant idea would be limited by the 5% rule for charity or might not be allowed at all because it would be giving away the money. So it wouldn't be the best idea.
Hiring Beyonce and renting a stadium, now your talking. Brewster could hire anyone he wants so long as he gets value for his money. Since Beyonce is providing a valuable service, no problem.
My brother and I came up with the idea that Brewster should have booked famous entertainers to provide a show for the people at his office every day. That would have wasted millions. Renting a cruise ship, and a 747 came to mind as well.
I dont think you can do anything illegal if you could just buy a $30M painting and have it stolen, or buy a $30M mansion and have an arsonist burn it down.
