It would be more akin to selling someone a car, then telling them you're giving them the money back instead of the vehicle.

- vogt 4y agoI disagree. As there is a sales office at a livestock auction who are paid by buyers expecting to take delivery of livestock they just paid for, a third party is involved. So it is not as cut and dry as “never mind, I’ll just give you your money back.”
- joe_guy 4y agoWhat happens if a wolf killed the goat? Surely they wouldn't be unconditionally criminal at that point. Perhaps the third party needs to be made whole, also. IANAL but paying off contracts is extremely common.
