A crazy holiday poker story and an ethical question (low content)

[mikech]

i don't see how you can accept the $1200. this is a total stranger giving you a significant amount of money for no reason; if a guy on the street tried to stuff $1200 into your pocket, would you really take it? i dunno, maybe a lot of ppl would. but there is absolutely no way i'd let someone give me that much money without cause.

thats a really f'ed up story man, theres no right answer to this kind of stuff, to the people who say they wouldnt accept it in the first place, thats total bs, to the people who say what is 1200 to you, tell them to wait a couple of years, and to what to send back, if your a really really nice guy send back the 1200 but dont worry about it if you decide not to (i probably wouldnt)

Good story. The correct thing to do is obviously whatever makes you feel better, if you would feel alot of guilt about this, you may want to send the $1200 back to avoid this. Personally, I would feel comfortable keeping the money.

wtf? he sent you the money unsolicited, and hasn't asked for it back? transferring it back would be condescending. he said, "Merry Christmas." He intended it as a gift, for reasons unknown but to him. Keep it.

and get some sleep, you f--kin lunatic.

[yvesaint]

do what a true 2+2er would do

bet it all on party BJ like hes staked you 1200

[kagame]

donate the entire $1200 to the red cross or some equally worthy charity as a GIFT in his name, and find out his email address and they will send him a gift receipt/notice

then write it off on taxes :-)

On your next trip to Vegas, put it on a number on the roulette wheel. If you win 35x, ship him back half.

[RikaKazak]

I keep it, $1,200 must not be much to him.
