I get deposits from Google over that amount quite frequently and nothing bad happens. I do pay taxes on my income of course, but it’s not that anything over $10K is automatically a problem. In this case, yes they will need to pay taxes on it if they keep it. That’s not imminent and I imagine this will get cleared up well before then. It’s amusing that they filed a support request, though, and are only going to get it resolved due to publicizing it on Twitter. We really need a better way to get help from these companies.
