Is it really generous to return money ripped off from others?

 

I don't know but mmany people would have tried to keep it I think...
AFAIK the recipient did nothing illegal

 

In most jurisdictions receipt of stolen property is treated the same as
stealing the property in the first case. I did know is no defense unless
you freely return the property.

 

Her dead husband did. She was being a good person and did not need the
7.2 billion. She has more than enough to keep her in good repair for
the rest of her life.
I wonder if her husband had lived would it have been so easy?

 

I don't know

neither do I know if I would have been that honest

 

Well anyway she did the right thing

 

I didn't say the recipient did anything illegal. That wasn't the point of
my reply. I don't find generosity a factor in the receiver of stolen
goods returning the goods, it's just the moral thing to do right?

 

It's less generous when you return half the money ripped off.

Right and wise. A world view that is seriously lacking these days.
