Instead of giving it to his father in law he chose to keep it. When the truth came out his father in law was hurt and felt that John had manipulated the situation. Though this is a small mistake compared to Robby and his crimes,

Oh gosh!!! There were so many things wrong with this movie, I am not even sure where to begin.
