Loudly." is probably a generally defensible position.<br /><br />In this particular instance, the unnamed Japanese citizen probably ought to petition the Japanese Emperor to supervise collection of the money for return "to it's proper place" in the name of the People of Japan, etc similar political euphemism ad nauseum. Maybe the Emperor declares some sort of holiday or other public recognition in return.<br /><br />All sides "save face" while doing the right thing.Will Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13454533450309633627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-84715072529814430912022-05-12T14:56:44.186-05:002022-05-12T14:56:44.186-05:00I worked for a computer guru briefly about fifteen...I worked for a computer guru briefly about fifteen years ago, who had a good friend - a nurse, IIRC - who was the recipient of one of those bank goofs: a massive amount of money direct deposited to her account. She considered it a windfall, and spent some or most of it, and got into horrific legal problems, when the bank asked for the money to be returned. The nurse got into all kinds of difficulties, starting with losing her nursing accreditation. My friend, the computer guru advised that if something like that ever happened to me, to not touch the money.Celia Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16261103494038415027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-2227635597167897882022-05-12T14:10:39.090-05:002022-05-12T14:10:39.090-05:00I would like to know where the money was 'supp...I would like to know where the money was 'supposed' to go !
