>Personally, there's probably a number that would sway me.

Uncharitably, I could say "So we've determined you're a thief, now we're just haggling about the price."

But actually I don't think that thinking that there is a number that would probably sway you, means that that number really would. I'd like to think you'd actually say no to any number, through to billions.

At the end of the day, morality isn't nearly as elastic as people suppose. You either have it or you don't.

I'd like to believe that, but most of what I've learned about sociology and economics says otherwise.
