ULPT Request: Ex Employer Sent Me Crypto
Posted by IAMApsychopathAMA@reddit | UnethicalLifeProTips | View on Reddit | 7 comments
So, a company I used to do contract work for that paid in crypto sent me an extra full months payment despite me not having sent an invoice or the like. If I can, I would keep it, but I am trying to figure my move here. For all I am concerned, its a donation to me by an anonymous crypto wallet.
They are headquartered in southeast asia, I am in Canada, I am sure they'll be bankrupt in about a year. I don't want to be sued or threatened with a suit if and when they realize their mistake.
My strategy so far is make no moves on the wallet and if contacted, just act surprised and then be like 'oh god I lost my wallet password I am so sorry, I cannot do anything for you here.' However, I would appreciate some extra tips here.

you lost access to that wallet

Just cash it out? It's not like an accidental bank transfer that can have legal consequences if you cash it.
If you wanna be on the safe side send it through couple monero wallets before you withdraw it.

"Safe" answer. Convert to cash. Put the cash somewhere safe. Give it back if they ask for it.

no way to tell the wallet contents without the password that you will not give them

Here is some legal precedent for this kind of situation

"im sorry, i cannot confirm nor deny anything what so ever due to potential litigation, please contact my lawyer"
and answer the same exact way when they ask who your lawyer is.
this is not legal advice, but you if are sure theyll be gone, this a stalling tactic
