The way that I see it is clearly written in your own words. The boy is caught and in trouble if you snitch, but you're money is safe. If you don't snitch you lose the money, possible many times over, and the boy still gets caught.

One way or the other it's going to come to the surface. It just matters if the friendship is worth the loss before the issue rears its ugly face. That's a tough question and I honestly don't know how I'd answer it. I guess it depends on how much I lose vs. the person that I'd lose as a friend. There are a handful of people I would willing put myself at risk for. Outside of those people, I'm #1 and will do what is right to look out for myself and well being.
