When Raymond MacCausland, a 72-year-old taxi driver, dropped off a Saturday afternoon fare in Boston, he didn't expect to make such a discovery.
But in good Samaritan fashion, he returned the enormous sum.
MacCausland, nicknamed "Buzzy," turned in the bundles of cash to Boston police after discovering the money in a backpack that was left in the back seat of his cab. The money belongs to a homeless man who had just cashed his inheritance, Boston police said.
FBI Director James Comey said Tuesday that he would not recommend charges against Hillary Clinton over her use of private email servers while secretary of state, removing a huge shadow hovering over her presidential campaign.
But Comey administered an extraordinary tongue-lashing to Clinton and her aides, rebuking them for being "extremely careless" in the handling of classified information and saying the presumptive Democratic nominee should have known an unclassified email system was no place to conduct sensitive government business.
The FBI director pointed out that the probe was tasked with examining whether Clinton or her aides had mishandled classified information either intentionally or in a grossly negligent way.
"Our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case," Comey announced after a lengthy recap of the investigation apparently designed to protect the integrity of his agency in a highly charged political atmosphere.
Comey's decision not to recommend charges likely removes the threat of prosecution in the middle of Clinton's campaign for the presidency, but the political fallout will continue. His explicit criticism of Clinton's conduct offered her enemies a trove of fresh ammunition for their assault on her character, honesty and trustworthiness — one of her biggest vulnerabilities.

The mega retailer's ShippingPass program is now available for a free 30-day trial. Even existing ShippingPass customers can partake in the deal -- Walmart will automatically tack on an extra month to their subscriptions, gratis.
Looking to take a slice out of Amazon's online retail dominance, Walmart ( ) introduced the $50-a-year ShippingPass subscription service last year.
Initially, ShippingPass only offered free three-day shipping. But in May, Walmart matched Amazon Prime with unlimited two-day shipping -- while trimming the price to $49 a year. That's less than half Amazon's $99 price for Prime.
In addition to unlimited two-day shipping, ShippingPass also lets Walmart customers purchase items with no minimum order requirements, and returns are free -- both online and in store.
The program's free one-month trial offer matches Amazon's similar 30-day free trial for Prime.
They long ago conquered pop music and now the Backstreet Boys may have their sights set on conquering country.
The all grown up boy band has apparently been cooking something up in the studio with country duo Florida Georgia Line.
On Monday Backstreet member Nick Carter posted an Instagram photo of himself in studio with the caption "In the studio with my @backstreetboys recording a song for @flagaline new album. Also working on the new backstreet album as well. Get ready!!!"
Fallout 4 's mod program was supposed to launch this month on PlayStation 4 , but it looks like that's no longer going to happen. Developer Bethesda Game Studios wrote on Twitter today that the PS4 mods beta has been delayed, which likely means the public release is, too.
"We regret to say that the PS4 mods beta for Fallout 4 has been delayed. We will update everyone when we can," the developer explained.
The delay comes after Bethesda acknowledged some serious-sounding issues with Fallout 4 PS4 mods , including problems that could lead to memory and performance issues. However, Bethesda provided no explanation at all today regarding why the PS4 mods beta is delayed.
Fallout 4 mods made their console debut on Xbox One in May . Mods are created on PC and then published to Bethesda.net, where Xbox One players can download them. The same setup is likely to be in place for the eventual PS4 release.
In other news about Fallout 4 mods, the game's official mod site recently received a new update that helps make using and posting creations much easier .
The celebrated RPG's latest expansion was Contraptions Workshop, which came out on June 22. Following this will be two further Fallout 4 add-ons, Vault-Tec Workshop ($5/July 2016) and Nuka World ($20/August 2016).
We already know that Sony is working on an upgraded version of the PS4 designed to play the same library with souped-up graphics, but the basic PS4 may be getting something of a redesign as well. A report from the Wall Street Journal’s Takashi Mochizuki suggests that Sony is working on a PS4 “slim” similar to what the company did with the PS3 back in 2009. We’ve heard whispers of this before, and a slim redesign is a pretty reasonable thing to be doing at this point in a console’s lifespan. Chief competitor Microsoft just announced its slim version of the Xbox One at E3, for example. Just to clarify: it appears that analysts are saying that the slim is in addition to the Neo, meaning two new consoles.
The Xbox One had quite a bit of space to lose, however. I’m curious to see just how much Sony can squeeze out of the already impressively compact PS4. There’s been no official announcement yet, as Sony decided to excise any mention of hardware from its much-lauded E3 press conference. I’d be surprised if Sony didn’t head into holiday 2016 with some sort of new hardware besides PSVR, and so the best bet for an announcement is either at some sort of stand-alone event or at the Tokyo Game Show, and the report suggests the latter.
Sony Interactive Entertainment head Andrew House recently talked a bit about a culture of “instant gratification” in the electronics industry, largely spurred by Apple’s “available now” press conferences. To me, that suggests as short a time as possible between the announcement of the PS4 Neo/Slim and their release, which TGS would fit nicely into. Announce in September, give pre-orders a moment, and then release in October. That would put the PS4 slim in direct competition with the Xbox One S, and odds favor the PS4 in that fight.
It’s a bit of a nebulous fall at the moment, but an exciting one nonetheless. We’ll keep you posted as more things develop.
Taylor Swift is firing back at Kim Kardashian. The Grammy-winner has taken issue with Kardashian's bombshell interview in the July issue of "GQ," where she claims that Swift knew all along that Kanye West would be calling her "that b**ch" in his song "Famous."
Kardashian told the magazine that Swift "approved" the song and was pretending to be offended when it came out in February. "She totally approved that," Kardashian said in the article. "She totally knew that that was coming out. She wanted to all of a sudden act like she didn't."
Swift's camp released a lengthy statement hitting back at the reality star and her marriage to West.
"Taylor does not hold anything against Kim Kardashian, as she recognizes the pressure Kim must be under and that she is only repeating what she has been told by Kanye West," The statement reads. "However, that does not change the fact that much of what Kim is saying is incorrect. Kanye West and Taylor only spoke once on the phone while she was on vacation with her family in January of 2016 and they have never spoken since. Taylor has never denied that conversation took place."
The statement goes on to say, "It was on that phone call that Kanye West also asked her to release the song on her Twitter account, which she declined to do. Kanye West never told Taylor he was going to use the term 'that b**ch' in referencing her. A song cannot be approved if it was never heard. Kanye West never played the song for Taylor Swift. Taylor heard it for the first time when everyone else did and was humiliated. Kim Kardashian's claim that Taylor and her team were aware [of the lyrics] is not true, and Taylor
