Jake kept the money for himself.
That would have made the movie even better.

That would have been a crap ending. The whole point with Jake is that he's a decent and honest morally upright guy, so keeping the money would have made him just as dirty as Alonzo.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.
