…and you would know this, how? 
What are you trying to say here, Todger…
Am I the only one here thinking … At my age I’d keep it and run.
I might have what left? A decade of living … maybe two.
It depends how easy it would be for them to seize my assets.

I’m trying to remember a scam I heard about, not sure if it was real life or a film?
They stole small amounts of money out of lots of people’s bank accounts, invested it on the stock market overnight, made a killing, put the money back in the peoples bank accounts in the morning, and because it was small amounts most didn’t notice, and kept the proceeds from the stock market profits
I suppose if you knew what you were doing you could do that 
Nick Leeson thought he knew what he was doing when he played ducks and drakes on the Stock Market - but the “I’m sorry” note he left when he ran for it didn’t quite make up for losing over £800 million for Barings, pushing the oldest UK Merchant Bank into Insolvency!

Oh I think I have already 
Well if I was accidentally paid 150k, I think I’d spend 149k on loose women, drugs, drink and wild sex parties……then I’d waste the rest…

I was going to say that £150k isn’t worth the risk I’d be taking. I mean, seriously, how long would it last? If I went on the run, leaving everything I owned behind, think how much it would cost to replace essentials - clothing, a roof over my head, etc. But then I remembered it was 300 times his monthly salary, so to him that amount means 25 years worth of salary. Even if he was getting the average monthly take home pay in Chile of £750, that would still represent 16.67 years worth of pay.
But to get a perspective here for us in the UK, the average monthly take home pay is £2491. So 200 times that amount would be nearly £500k. Puts a slightly different slant on it for us.
Still not worth the risk in my book though. I couldn’t live with the guilt or the stress.

But by the sounds of it you’d have a life of luxury if you fled to Chile?

Haha, yes indeed! 
When working in the bank, before December 2003 (when I left), one payslip showed an overpayment of £5, or £7,000. As the Personnel (no HR back then!) office was on the same floor, I was soon in there, showing the lady who did the wages. I also seem to remember she never said thank you!
everyone can stop worrying - he’s staying with me for a while in oz - can’t say when or if he’ll be back but he is getting a nice suntan! everything is so much cheaper down under he says!!
It’s South America the man probaby earns peanuts in Chile and looks upon this as a gift from heaven .
