You don't come down kidnapping someone while your own life is still at risk for $900 (at least, not in countries where $900 is below the average month income).

Orenji-kun in a life or death situation, tell someone they'll get money if they do something, they'll forget about thinking and actually do it, especially if that saves them AND get them the money.
Of course, this is blatant stupid and being ignorant. However, that's how a majority would behave (or rather : I believe it'd).
