Yes, the van full of cash would have proved difficult to acquire new ID's with.
Broke *** teenagers can land em, dudes wiping their ***** with hundreds would have no such luck.
You'd be dead if you took Walt's money and you'd never know when it was coming. @ ride off in to the sunset. He'd probably start off with your family members if you on some catch me if you can steez, talkin about try and find me. You'd be insane thinking some fake ids would save you.
I think you might have read a tad too much into what I said. I was speaking squarely on the premise that now the cards are on the table and there are clear targets. For Hank, Walt is now the bad guy, he now has to prove what he knows. For Walt, of course he's had the upper hand, Hank had no clue what was going on at all. Not being suspected at all was the upper hand for Walt clearly. Now since they essentially know "who's who" they seem very similar in wanting to achieve their goal. Both have succeeded up to this point in their respective "careers" now they face each other.
after being on NT for 4+ years i think its safe to say that most of yall don't know anything you are talking about. talking about just stealing tens of millions of dollars from a dude involved in the drug business and buying the same kind of fake id kids use to get into bars
What does it take to steal Jesse's money or cook up a batch of blue to fund the deaths of two lowly henchmen?
@ thinking you can just hire snipers and dip. Who you know to hire snipers? Who gonna trust you just cuz you got money? The second you do that word gets back to Saul and Walt cuz once you didn't come back they'd already put out word to look out for you two trying to do anything anywhere. You'd be looking over your shoulder for the rest of your life. What call can those two dudes make? What do you actually KNOW? If you're in their position it's no different. You don't know anything, you were brought in by Saul. All you got is hearsay, not evidence, nothing that could incriminate Walt. You wouldn't get out of town alive. 
That's not a good plan in the least. By the time you get to that small town (if you get there really), they'd track down the car (cuz you're not switching vans), and you'd be dead waiting for that new identity. I don't even know how you think getting a new identity is really going to save you or help much in getting away with that much money like you don't got friends or family. See a pile of money and just up and leave deciding to go to another country. **** like that has a money trail and you will be found if not by Walt, then the police.
at thinking your taking all this cash and setting up a new life somewhere. that isn't clean money. you still have to launder all of that
by an anonymous tip. 
But they didn't because they no better.
That's the thing those two dudes do not know what kind of trouble Walt is in or if he's necessarily in any trouble. You're talking as the omnipotent viewer, you know everything that's going down so you can say blank should've done that or x could've got away with that. Put yourself in their shoes and you're just as ignorant as the dude next to you.
He wasn't shook when he killed Gus. He wasn't shook when he had to kill Crazy 8. He wasn't shook when the kid died. He wasn't shook when he had to run over and kill the dealers.
Nothing is limiting Walt's moves at all. He just spent the whole day out in the desert digging a big hole so he could bury his money. As the person stealing from him you don't really know why he's moving it or who is out to get him (could be DEA, cartel, competition, etc.). Given he's made the money a high priority I don't know how you think as the person robbing him he wouldn't drop what he's doing to come and kill you to get his money back.With that amount of bread I could be.
You'd need to switch vans at some point, sure. Once you do that, you could have a good amount of headstart.
Also remember, Walt is clearly in big *** trouble with "somebody" breathin down his neck, hence the need to move his money asap. With or without even knowing it's the DEA, Walt has other things on his plate, limiting his moves.
Imagine driving back to that shop and he's in cuffs already. You coulda been 100 miles down the road already.
I'da been gone. Me, personally. That's fine the rest of you are scared or whatever, someone sends me to collect their millions, they won't see me again. That's just me.
