Around the end of the movie, where he is in the car with his (ex)wife, he took out a bundle from his hidden pocket and threw it out of the window? wtf?

If you're that worried about spoilers why the *beep* are you reading this forum? Do also read the Wiki entry for movies without expecting spoilers?

Don't invoke Their Names in vain. They are not connected to this movie in any way

If you look closely, you can see that the pack of money stopped the bullet and holds the slug. And so he's throwing it out because it is evidence that could link him to the crime.

He threw the money, as lawrenceoliver said, to get the evidence off him. By the time that he passes customs in the airport, he will be landing in whatever country as the heat starts to come on him. He really is not so much after the money, as he wants his past life back. I felt that it could of had more plot development, but I took it as it was.

In addition to what everyone else has replied, I think it was also symbolic that he finds his family more important than money. That was one of the major plots along the movie, anyway, so I figure it makes sense.

There was also another reason why he did it. The Cops were following him and the crowds which collected to grab the cash effectively blocked the pursuit.
