The other guy is an idiot, plain and simple. You're not in the wrong. Congrats on the free stuff.
Am I in the wrong?

back in the day when dragon chain was 30m i bought it and sold it to a friend irl. i was at his house and dropped traded. well every 2 hours his dial up disconnected. well it just happened to be that exact time after i dropped it. had to wait atleast 5 minutes before i got back in. when i logged in their were 2 dudes standing there. so i questioned about the d chain and the guy gives it back and says he didnt want to be reported for item stealing lawl.... then they just walked away.
^^ genuinely surprised by the responses in this thread. I've always thought that when older people said the younger generations have gone to shit they were just complaining. Looks like you just all decided to congregate here eh
Lol he probably was doing rwting but got the wrong guy haha. You did the right thing.

I don't necessarily agree with this statement; however, there seems to really be no honor among thieves.
I'll state it again, for those who missed it: the guy wasn't showing off if he accepted twice. The guy wasn't trying to do a RWT if he didn't check a few times to make sure he had the right guy. I'm guessing that he sincerely clicked the wrong person (if you're at a bank that's easy enough to do) and thought he was giving it to his friend. When his friend told him that he traded the wrong person, or when he checked his trade log, I'm sure he realized the mistake he had made.
For most people on this website, 40mil is chump change, as next to everyone here bots, exploits, and knows the secrets to money making. For the majority of RuneScape, 40mil is no small amount. Up until I joined Sythe actually, I had 20mil to my name. I started learning the secrets to money making, making and helping friends, and working harder for a little bit of cash (and getting a very generous gift from Dragon Dyce).
The point I'm trying to make is that the guy gave you a large sum of money that he probably had to work for. I would have, in good faith, given it back. Many people don't believe in karma. Had you given it back to him and then posted about your honorable deed, I feel as though you would have gotten much more positive reputation around here than posting about keeping it.
I know I certainly would have hailed your act of chivalry had you given it back.
Morals and Runescape is simple, it is such a large community and unlike WoW where your within a server, your reputation isn't at stake in Runescape. Some people tie real life morals into Runescape, some people tie morals into players they know on a personal level and some have no morals on Runescape at all.
