Why "sadly"?
Personally, I love the idea that Raymond spends his nights posting bad regexs to mailing lists under the pseudonym of Jane Smith. He'd be like a super hero, only more nerdy and less useful. [Trevel]

If the amount of money involved makes a difference then ethics were never involved and were just a convenient excuse at parties.

I know I would hold it for at least a couple of days to get some interest from it in a savings-account... And meanwhile just wait to see if my employer notices and only then take action... unless they wait too long... then I might become jumpy and contact them myself...
Nah... What's up, Doc? CCC's solved : 1 If a bus station is where a bus stops, and a train station is where a train stops, why do I have a work station on my desk?
Only if interest rates were reasonable.

You would get caught pretty quickly so unless you had a quick escape plan to a different country I would avoid that.

It's interesting. I asked my staff if they would, and they said no (I hope they were joking), so I thought I'd see how prevalent this attitude is. It seems you are all more honest (or talk a better game) than my team.:~

Absolutely yes, I would return the money.
Cheers, Vikram. (Got my troika of CCCs!)

I'd be monitoring the account closely for a few months, hoping to get further payments. Meanwhile I wouldn't spend a penny over my normal salary. If a few months of pay like that arrived, then I'd be long gone. If not, or if discovered, plausible deniability. ;P Sadly, I think I would done the same as the man in the article. :^) //L

I saw a story where a caterer was paid $29,000+ dollars on a bill for $29, they considered the extra a 'tip' and promptly spent it. The institution which paid the erroneous amount sued said caterer and won, the caterer will be making payments to the institution for the next 28 years.

That was much better than I thought. I am more used to 0.025% that I now get on the money market account I have with my stock account and my checking with interest is not much different.

I've seen CDs with rates about that recently, be kinda hard to explain how I didn't know it was there, but I did invest it.
The problem there is they would definitely catch you (unless they were completely inept) before you earn the CD rate... You would most likely have a large penalty for early withdraw and may end up loosing money on the transaction..
