Big lebowski... where's the money? I ain't exaggerating... since first seeing the big lebowski on vhs in 1999, I must have watched it at least 30 times. But in recent years my attention went to this one question : where did the money go? Was it stolen in the dudes car after walter threw out the ringer? Or, was it never actually there and old man lebowski pulled a scam like some human paraquat?
