Show up to my job as if nothing happened, get a tax adviser, and see if I could get it in a blind trust. I'd turn in the ticket, disappear for a year, and while doing that attempt to bootstrap a software company. If I failed I'd open source what I worked on with the knowledge that the cost of failure would not harm me in any way and be glad I had the freedom to try writing non-trivial software by my self with no financial repercussions.
