(S31) PT 2 - Mistakenly Rich?

[Number 82]

4 million dollars in my bank account? Well, that sounds sus and there's no way I'm touching that. It's a lot of money and sure you could have a lot of fun with it but there's no way anyone is just going to let that amount of money go unnoticed without some sort of consequence. So in addition to it not being right, just straight up don't want to deal with the repercussions of dealing with bank errors and the sort. Getting audited, no thanks. Having the possibility of people knocking at my door asking about their money, heck no. Just return the money, note it to the GM and let them deal with it, I'm just here to chill and play football. Got enough problems with trying to be somewhat productive on the field, no need to add legal troubles to that.

Being possibly linked to embezzlement, thought of as a criminal, well just getting tangled in a mess that could've been easily avoided is just far too much additional crap to deal with. Return the money and be done with the situation and just go on with things. If I was hurting for money that bad, there's also plenty of other legal means to get money via sponsorships, media work and gfx work. No shortage of opportunities, so no real reason to get involved in something that probably won't end well.

Douglas Quaid doesn’t get out of bed finding an extra $4 million dollars. What he would do though is take an immediate trip to Las Vegas or Atlantic City (depending on his current location) and go do some high roller gambling to try and turn that cash into significant dough. Being the caliber of man the Quaid is, let's say he turned that 4 million into 10 million. He would give back the original 4 million to the team and keep the rest. They would never know they gave him a no risk loan to go gamble. In that scenario everybody wins. On the flip side if all that 4 million turned into zero, regret would overcome Quaid. He would sign an extension with the team for a lesser amount than he otherwise would have. It would be strange to outsiders why this great player is taking such a team friendly deal, but deep down Quaid would know that he owes it to the team. At this point of Quaid’s career, he has to be thinking about life after the ISFL. He only has a few years left until he must retire from this game. Once he is done with football he’ll still be in his 30s, that’s still young. If he wants to continue living an extravagant life he has to multiply the millions he already has, even if it’s as high risk as gambling. (236 words)

It honestly depends on one thing: does that extra 4 million smackaroos come out of our budget? If yes, then I would immediately tell my General Managers and return the funds. I do not want to be the reason that we're over the cap, and thus hurting the team by costing us draft picks which we sorely need in our retooling phase.

The money does NOT come out of our budget and is an error on the Bank's part? Hell to the YES I am keeping that money and spending it! I deserve a nice little somethin' somethin' after busting my ass all season long for not nearly the same production as last season. It's frustrating as hell and I need some retail therapy. Mom and dad need a new house in Orlando. My sister is going back to school, so I'm paying for her tuition this time around. I can support my family like crazy with an extra 4 million dollars. Best believe that I'm getting the correct compensation for my contributions to the team if it's not coming out of the budget!

That said, I'm not a selfish prick, contrary to what others in the league may think. I'll obviously get gifts for all of my teammates. Except that boomer @Blasoon. Mans is too old for gifts.

Charlemagne Cortez is an incredibly honest person and so he would immediately alert the Outlaws payroll department that they had made a pretty major mistake. Also, being an MVP winning quarterback means that he really doesn't need the extra money, ya know? That may seem like it's a pretty big brag, but it's just the straight facts, jack. Hopefully, with GMs Crunk and Z knowing how honest and selfless he is, there may be some unforeseen benefit coming down the road in the future. Perhaps that four million will be worked into a future contract down the road, because you know I'm going to be resigning in Arizona. Cortez is definitely an Outlaw for life, you know, unless the guys upstairs that pay the bills decide otherwise. Perhaps this can also be spun into some sort of media story that will buy Charlemagne some sort of good will with the fans. He made need it because there is probably going to be a bad interception or poorly timed fumble coming down the pipe. I mean, listen: it's hard being a professional quarterback, for real. You have to build good will with the team and the fans every chance you get, so if you can have a story written about you saying how nice of a dude you are, all the better.

If legs were given an extra 4m in his contract there is no chance that he does not spend it on himself to buy some leg extensions or some type of additive to help make his smol legs larger so he could feel more like a normal person and less like the monster that the child in the grocery isle said he was last week. Now some people might want to tell their Gm about the mistake in the contract deposit but not legs. Legs knows that he earned far more money than he is contracted to earn because the GMs of the hakws @Frick_Nasty mainly is a stooge with giving money to his squad. Now additionally legs would use the extra cash to throw a rager with the squad. The team needs some team building at times due to weak management not allowing more people to get the coveted gold hawk within the LR and this party would help raise morale and take some of the edge off as people hold onto the gold hawk for far too long. This rager will include copious amounts of gold leaf chocolates shaped like the gold hawk so more people will be able to claim a gold hawk and the stooge GMs cant keep it from them.

I think this is a pretty straight forward scenario, it has happened in real life to some people with their banks and it always ends in the same way. If for some reason you find more money in your bank account than you expect and someone has overpaid you or mistakenly paid you, you tell the person and return the money. In no situation of keeping or spending the money will it end well for you as essentially it is considered threat, it is unfortunately not a finders keepers situation. Especially given this is part of you just signing a new contract and you are planning on sticking around in the organization, stealing is usually frowned upon. You talk to your GM or more likely your agent and double check if there was a bonus paid out to you for signing or if it was a mistake somewhere along the line. If you are lucky enough to keep the money somehow it would be a terrific wee bonus, the best thing to do would be store it away as an investment given that it is a nice safety net for you if something went wrong. I would imagine despite the fact owners are mostly multi millionaire or billionaires they would still want that 4 million back for other purposes.

Now, as a DSFL prospect, it would be best for me to tell my GM about the 4 million extra dollars I've been given, since it would help boost my draft stock and make me look better to scouts. However, I am in desperate need of money, so I would probably end up keeping the 4 million. The first thing I would do is gamble it on the Outlaws. I've lost tons of money betting on the Arizona Outlaws but I feel like they are the best bet for me to turn that 4 million into 8 million. I'm sure if Kotasa found out that I was stealing his money to gamble he would be mad. But that's why it's in my best interest to be sneaky about the extra money. Maybe I'd write some extra media to launder my ill-gotten 4 million dollars. And I'm sure my current and future GMs wouldn't mind if I used that extra money to buy some equipment and trainings. Maybe if I pretend that I would do beneficial things with the money then Kotasa can slide me a couple million under the table. He is RICH Triplet after all. In all honesty I would probably use the money to buy a nice car and never shut up about it.
