These kinds of questions are near-informational hazards for me. If I were to answer this, I'd have nightmares of uniformed (funny how that word only has a Damerau-Levenshtein distance of 1 to 'uninformed') men knocking on my door. Also, my PC would probably slow down due to all the root kits being installed. However, the "$1 million to keep for him or herself" is a heavy constraint because a) if you're overly successful you won't be able to enjoy the money much, and b) to be overly successful at some point you'd have to be overtly successful, i.e. no more anonymity.
