- _carbyau_ 5y agoMakes you wonder. If he had've kept it for a day or so, then simply returned the money (similarly anonymously, preferably better than he did it...) and kept the gains, would they have chased him down?
- xupybd 5y agoI think that is what he attempted to do
- _carbyau_ 5y agoI guess I was thinking a little less dramatically, making it look more like an accident. IE rather than biding time for multiple days and sending threatening ransom notes, if the money simply turned up a day later with a transaction description of "I don't think you meant this for me." But then, it isn't exactly hard for people to guess the motive behind a days holding of large sums of money and the "business email compromise" is pretty blatant.
