if it was originally stolen from someone else before evil people got their hands on it. that's my opinion having not seen the movie. because i haven't seen the movie, there are different ways to interpret 'thrown away'. there's literal and there's figurative.
if he literally threw it away, that's selfish. that's bad karma. why should he have his life back plus some, while someone else continues to experience loss?
if he figuratively threw it away by giving it back to its original owners, or donating the gem to a good cause, that's good karma, that's completing a circle.
which is what happened in the movie? -

Uh not be rude or anything but WHY are you discussing and speculating about a movie you haven't even seen? (If we are on the subject of characters in films not making sense people in real life seem to be on the same track, lol.)

He doesn't really seem to need money anyway. That nice apartment, his office. He's a psychiatrist and the kid at the beginning was wearing a suit, implying that he's expensive. Money not an issue, especially considering all the threats to the things that actually made him happy. Those tend to distract.

Because he's not a thief, maybe? Because a gem doesn't magically transform itself into a pile of money? Where would he sell it, anyway? No respectable establishment would buy a gem of that size just out of the blue with no certificate or something of the sort. How would he explain that sum to the IRS?
He'd basically have to sell it at a black market, to some very shady individual or organisation, actually becoming a criminal himself. -
