(S31) PT 2 - Mistakenly Rich?

[CShockWave]

If I found an extra $4 Million in my bank account I’d clear it with the GM before spending it on Gear, Training, and anything else to improve myself. The more I can improve myself, the better my team can be. The better my team can be the more wins we get. The more wins we get the faster we make it to the playoffs/championship and the faster I can leave an everlasting mark on the DSFL and The Minnesota Grey Ducks. If I can leave an impression on the DSFL and my team, maybe, JUST MAYBE, I can get into the ISFL and play in the Big Leagues. The real end goal is winning a championship there with whatever team is fortunate enough to pick me up and play me. They’ll only be getting the best Safety in the league on their team after all. To accomplish all these lofty goals though, I’d need that extra $4 Mil so I can get that gear and those trainings. Maybe I’ll have a word with my GM’s later, wine and dine ‘em, and maybe I can squeeze in a few words about how great their team is and how much I could use some extra training.

4 million dollars? Sid, Flex, and I will be enjoying a nice vacation! My treat.. First step would to go and check if that four million went against the teams cap. If not then I believe that money is free reign. I learned from my college days to take whatever you are given. You likeness and skill is what makes the team money. So now the only question is will Sid and Flex rat me out or catch on if I offer them to join me on this vacation. Will they know they don’t normally pay me enough to cover this vacation?

Now I believe I have confirmed that the money didn’t affect the team. So now the biggest problem is where do we go? Its hard to schedule a dream vacation when we live in paradise already. So I think we will be doing a not traditional trip and heading to the Colorado Mountains. We about to hit the slopes. As long as this is approved by the team doctor and with this trip being a portion of our Defense.

So Sid, Flex, and the rest of HON… We are doing some team bonding. Drinks on “me” well, sorta. Either way, its gonna be fun!

So the boneheads in the Colorado Yeti front office have misplaced $4 Million? Not surprising to be honest. The question has been posed, what would I do after noticing this error? Well finders keepers I say. The Yeti probably have a huge bank vault filled with cash and as a rostered player, I deserve a share of the loot. Don't I?
Assuming that the finance department don't immediately notice the discrepancy, I'm off to the real estate agent to buy a bigass house in a nice part of the state. After some initial research, I'll buy this place in Loveland, CO for $2.9 Million which leaves me another $1.1 Million(I didn't even use a calculator) to spend on a very nice automobile.



OK, so now I've taken a look at new vehicle options and will buy this thing for the drive to the Yeti practice facility. It's only $75,000 so I will find some worthy charities to donate the remaining cash to, in a bid to save what little conscience remains. It's not every day that you come into this kind of money, so why not enjoy it when you can?




Some may call what I have done as theft, but if in this day and age and the incredible technology of accounting, that an error of that magnitude can be made.....tough shit. I'm spending it.

I don't know how I will fill the 200 words for this point task. So here goes. When I was at the ATM a few years ago I took out $500 for something that I obviously needed a butt load of cash for. I think it was for something to do with a carpenter that did a cash job. So anyway, I took out the money and went on my merry way ready to pay for the job tomorrow. As I counted the cash as I was handing it over I noticed that I had been given $550, even though I had only pressed $500 and only $500 was taken out of my account. I took the extra $50 into the bank that was atm was outside of. It turns out that their balance was out $50. So long and short of it. If I was mistakenly rich by 4Mil I would 100%, guaranteed, tell my GMs. If I return $50, I'll return 4Mil. In saying all of that, I don't know if i would notice that I had an extra $4Mil in my account in ISFL, because all of a sudden I had 20M last season and I have no idea how that happened.

Hmmm decisions decisions, do I inform my employer of a mistake made or do I instead keep my unearned bounty? Considering the fact that it would be almost impossible to know what the true source of the error is without serious research (could be the bank's fault for incorrectly funding the account, could be the team's fault and the payroll department gave me the wrong check or amount, heck it could even be my fault for not knowing what my own salary is), it would probably be too much trouble to dig up all the necessary information to correct the issue. Additionally at the end of the task the conclusion would make someone look bad at their job and potentially lose it, and I certainly don't want to be responsible for someone losing their job over something as silly as a little extra cash in hand. All this leads me to believe it is in fact the right thing to do in keeping my mouth shut and my now very deserved bonus check. What I would do with the money is another issue all together, do I spend it on training to make it feel like the team simply added extra investment in me as a player, or do I go off and buy some super cool signatures and tattoos and such? Looks like a whole other set of decisions needs to be made....

hello yes mr policeman i would most certainly return this gosh darn unrightful money, im no freakin criminal. sure mr officer i would also snitch on anyone trying to pocket this secret money they stole from us the people, why do you ask?
Of course spending this money would be very illegal and my priest always told me its bad to do illegal things, therefore i would obviously not spend it, even tho it is very temping to donate this money to my local church, but yes stealing is very illegal mr officer.
As others have pointed out this is really hard to stretch into two hundred words but here we go.
I dont currently have an ISFL team, but speaking for my past ISFL team, frolf was manager and everyone knows how horrible he is with make believe money, so this mistake is actually very believable, however bringing it up to him would prolly be bad because he would just lose all this money gambling. i would just put it into a trust fund and once frost turns 16 i would spend the entire 4 million on his sweet 16 birthday party. but i would not invite anyone but tell him i invited everyone and noone showed.

As a waiver wire pickup since the beginning of my career, every penny has and will be counted from the first one to the last one. I will 100% be keeping every little bit of money I would be keeping and why you ask. These GM's have been making the teams more money than you could imagine on a daily basis and on top of that been making as much money as players if not more. I would not be spending it all at once since that may be a little suspicious for my teammates and coaches to see me with new house/car/belongings.

The smart thing to do would be to invest the money, especially for someone like me not knowing how long my career will be, especially being picked up off the streets undrafted to start my career. Making sure I set myself and my family up for the long run would be the way to go. Don't get me wrong though, I may still spend a bit of it on personal belongings but only enough to not be noticeable. This is a little out of my comfort zone since I am usually an honest person but 4 million is to much to pass up on.
