Question: How did Luther know where they stashed the money, and how did he blow through over $750,000 practically overnight?
Answer: Luther worked as the cleaner in the building where the girls hid the money in the air duct. He apparently just happened to come across it while cleaning. As to blowing through it, he may have been lying to them that it was all gone, but he had already bought some pretty expensive items. Something like a fancy sports car alone can cost $100,000 or more.
Raywest, I don't think he even admitted to having the money at all, except denying that he even knew anything about it before "Teshaun" (Tete) shot him from behind. That act alone rendered recovery of whatever was left almost impossible. Luther went to the grave with that secret.
I thought they worked for him, so why would he be cleaning? Also, who cleans air vents in an office building?
Answer: The girls were certainly not the craftiest of criminals, certainly amateurs. You NEVER hide that kind of cash in an air vent - EVER. Unfortunately, in life, you take the exam and the lesson is learned after.
Question: Why did Stony and Keith never meet up in Mexico at the end? Stony just lost 3 dear friends on top of the 3 family members. Wouldn't she want to be with the last person in the world that knows she exists?
Answer: If someone disappears after committing a serious crime, they must cut past ties to avoid being traced. That includes ending any past romantic relationships that could lead police to their whereabouts. Stony would also not want to ensnare Keith into a life of being on the run, and possibly get him arrested. Their relationship was short-term and likely would not have survived such a stressful and tumultuous scenario. It seems unlikely Keith would give up his stable personal life for such a situation.
Answer: I would also think Luther had found his "Retirement Fund" and was not going to give it up that easy, and had it hidden in a way that it was not going to be easily found, like he did, thanks to the not so crafty criminals who hid almost a million dollars in an air vent.
I agree with that answer. Bear in mind that if Luther could find the money easily, something he must have done as part of his job as the chief janitor of the building, he sure as hell wasn't going to make it easy for the next person to get it from him. And the amount, according to "Francheska" (Frankie), was "Over $75K and counting..." not $750K. There's a big difference.

I thought it was "296,000 and counting."
