Bit of a silly prompt this week, but I suppose it could happen. So what would Blackstone do in this situation? I can't say for sure, but I have to believe that he would do his best to make sure that it ends up where it is supposed to go. He has always tried to live his life honorably and I can't imagine that the sum of money being so great making a difference. He would treat it the same way whether it was $4 million dollars or $4 dollars. That being said, I wouldn't doubt that maybe like anyone else he would sometimes dream what it would be like to suddenly be $4 million dollars richer (legitimately, of course). If that were the case, he'd save a good portion and invest a good portion. He likes to think that makes him smart with his money but maybe that just means he's boring? That's what he's told by his friends on the Colorado defensive line, anyway -- that he's stingy. So, he'd make sure to treat himself with some of the cash infusion as well. He's never really been one to go boating since there's less opportunity in Colorado, but he has many fond memories at the lake as a child, so he's been thinking about getting a boat soon. So there you go, welcome to the family SS Legend.

If I had signed a new contract with my future ISFL team and I was wrongly overpaid by 4 million by my team I would return two million dollars of the cash mistakenly given. I would then give one million dollars to a charity for helping refugees thanks to civil wars in countries in Asia and the Middle East. One million dollars can improve and save many lives that would otherwise be wasted thanks to war torn countries. It also improves my players public standing and give my player those extra endorsements and overall team and fan morale. Having a lovable player with a good story is the best way to increase fan support and raise the roof at every home and even away games.  The last two million dollars would go to investment allowing for more money in the future. If I invest two extra million dollars I will be able to take slightly smaller contracts that allow my future ISFL team to spend those extra dollars to lock up important and dynamic players that are crucial to my teams success. Overall this improves my popularity and public stand of my player and it allows my team to spend less money on future contracts allowing for more team success.

While I feel like this is a trap, I'm not sure if I'd tell my GM or not. Assuming there wasn't a possibility of getting caught or getting in trouble, I'd probably use it to keep up with my weekly training and get better equipment. However, if the extra 4 million hurt my team or damaged the cap space needed to pay other players, I'd probably give it back. While it would be tempting to keep the money and give myself every competitive advantage possible, I think what makes this game fun is the camaraderie of the team discord servers. Plus, I think I'd like to work as a GM one day. The concept of drafting players and analyzing skillsets has always been thrilling to me. I wouldn't want to risk my ability to do that over 4 million extra dollars, which in the grand scheme of things, doesn't go incredibly far.

I guess at the end of the day, it comes down to consequence and what could happen as a result of my pick. If I was at risk of getting in serious trouble or getting banned from the forum, I'd likely give the money back. Otherwise, I'd probably stash the money and use it to boost some skills and equipment.
