I would keep it.

depends on where the money is from. If someone added an extra 0 or two in a ransom, I would usually return most of it.
One time I was ransoming this guy for ~50mil IIRC, and he emptied his entire wallet into my account which was more than 400mil. My gang mate was really surprised that I refunded the money. Why did I do it? Because the guy is an idiot, and I knew I would have the chance to ransom him again. I have since went on to ransom the same guy for 50-60mil 5 more times. I have made most of the money back, and it has been a lot of fun- carebears are nothing but isk dispensers, and this guy really stands out among them.
If you just get a large sum from someone that you don't know, then yeah someone could be trying to contaminate your account with dirty isk.

Under most circumstances I would keep it, making sure it was legit, etc.
Depending on certain things I might return a little (definiately not all though).

Trying to be a Troll with intenionally bad spelling in an attempt to gain notoriety on a forum is really old hat now. It was funny when Jenny Spitfire did it, because it was actually decent satire, yours is just unfunny tripe.

------------------ 2009.01.09 13:27 Hi,
As I am sure you've noticed you've just sold a unit of trit for 356m. Iwas trying to get a plex to my son and pretty much screwed up.
Any chance you'd be willing to take pity on a poor old senile guy and send it back? I'd be happy to let you keep 100m for the time and hassle.
Thanks!

Not quite a billion but due to the nice story i gave it back

For the billionaires to whom 1 billion ISK looks like nothing:
I will kindly accept any donation over 1 million you want to make me, as I'm basically poor ingame (If you want to prove me that 1 billion is nothing by donatin 1 billion to me, I'll admit you have a point publicly on this forum and kindly thank you for your generosity.) As I don't want to ask for money without giving something in return, you can get one of my beautiful wallpapers in return Thanks.
To the OP:
In game, as other said, I'll petition it to a GM and then act depending who the donor is and his/her attitude (and alliance too, probably.)
In RL, I'll surely give it back. I read about similar stories here in Spain where banks have transfered money by error and those who used the money got criminal charges. It's not yours to begin with.
One thing I found interesting: When in Japan I found out that people usually takes money found on the street to the police. Even if it's just bank notes (and not a wallet) they consider it's not theirs to keep. ----

The more I think about it the more unsure I am of what I would do its a tough one. 1 bil isk is nice to have on the one hand but would I feel bad if I thought that was all the isk the guy had, i don't know. Would somebody mind wiring me 1bil isk just so that I can see what I would do. Don't worry i will send it right back after I know.

Originally by: Dr Resheph Petition a GM to make sure its not illicit money, then if the GM clears you, spend away.
More than a few famous people have been caught by that crap.
indeed. and the same goes for real life, since the OP asked. Yes, that's right, if someone plonked a load of cash in my account by mistake, i'd contact the bank and ask "wtf??" and, if they say it's clean and not something illegal, then bugger it, i wouldn't give it back, serves whoever sent it right for being a monkey.

A person who can casually make a distinction based upon(will I get away with it?) clearly has no soul.
Quite apart from the rest of your self-righteous dribble, this particular assertion is possibly the douchiest thing I've read for months.
I do agree that I have no soul (because there's no such thing, we are meat and bones and not much else) but to suggest that somebody who keeps a windfall 'clearly has no soul' is just so moronic I wonder how on earth you managed to figure out how the forums work in order to make a post.
A person's character is only really tested in times of extreme pressure - in a warzone, during a robbbery, when faced with giving up a lucrative job that goes against your principles.
Here's a handy hint for you: Playing internet spaceships is not one of those times.
I like that

Petition to make sure it is legit, then probably keep it. Might consider returning some if they asked me nicely and weren't a pirate or red. Guide to forum posting |

What seperates winners from losers isn't finding suitcases of money on the street, it's having the acumen to EARN suitcases of money.
If you found a billion dollars, you'd still be a tosser.
You'd lose half of it in divorce and spend the other half on tax lawyers and buying yourself stupid schit like sneakers with blinking lights and a car that can do 180 in a 55 state.
You'll be sitting in your Porche stuck in traffic behind a guy driving a Geo Metro and suddenly realize your car doesn't even have a cup holder.
You'll quickly develop an "entourage" of pot-smoking low-grade tossers like yourself, and stunning blondes who swear they love you for your 3-inch killer. Your "friends" will come out of the woodwork and suddenly want to go bowling with you.
You'll buy a penthouse apartment on 5th Avenue and realize you're not classy enough to want to visit any museums, broadway shows or operas.
Then you'll fly back to Toledo, go to a monster truck show, pop open a 99 cent beer and finally be at peace, suddenly realizing that the fat chick across the street really DOES love you for your 3-inch killer and you could have had just as much fun on 50k a year if you were smart about it.
But yeah I'd keep the billion dollars too ---

Edited by: Asuka Smith on 06/04/2009 04:04:46 When I was a banker for EVE Online Hold'em I accidently sent someone 2b my auto-linking the wrong name, on top of that I still had to pay the guy who won the game and actually was supposed to get the money so it cost me 4b.
I did not get my money back, and as a result I would not give anyone else theirs back either.
Never had something like that happen to me IRL so I cannot say what I would do, I believe in Karma so I would try to give the same as I got and if someone was generous to me in such a situation I would certainly do the same for the next guy.

In game is a matter of how nicely the person asked, and my impression of them (ie: if the person strikes me as a scammer, carebear, pirate ect. I'd probably just keep it).
Real life, I'd probably just donate the money to a local university or start a trust fund to help a food bank or something. I don't really need it, and I'd rather not deal with needy friends. I would also much rather work for my money.
