Happy Father's Day to any fathers out there. Here's a fast story about a gift I got today that I'll have to return.
A big hospital system I did a small amount of work for owes me about $600, and they'd asked about whether or not they'd paid me everything they owed a couple months ago. I replied with the invoice that was still outstanding. Didn't hear back right away. Fast forward to Friday and I get their weird, almost automated message about a wire transfer going down, which usually means the next day. I didn't look on Saturday, but today when I checked my account for a different reason I saw that they'd wired me over $144,000.
That would equate to about 400,000 shares of CYDY. Which I could buy on either Tuesday or Wednesday if I moved it to Fidelity immediately. Then we get some crazy news that shoots us up over a dollar or two within a couple weeks and I cash out a third of the shares to return their money they probably still won't even know is missing, and then I'm even with the hospital but up 250,000 shares of CYDY. And I still look like a gentleman because I returned their money before they realized it was gone. What a guy!
This is completely true, and in all honesty my plan above could totally work. But it could totally backfire too, and I can't risk it. So your hero is going to reach out to the hospital in the near future to see if they'd like me to consider the overage a credit against future work (hey, you never know!) or if they'd just like me to cut them a check.
Fun to imagine dicking around with that money for a few weeks though.
