There are some good guys in that universe but sheesh, 15 is "taking care of you" on a 750 gain in liquid securities? That's an effing joke. I would have shipped the 15 back with a hearty FU, no lie.

Seriously. Does stuff like this happen a lot? That is, if I ever find myself in position to make a company a lot of money and I am low-level, should I get some kind of written agreement stating how much of what I make them goes to me? Or is that asking too much?

In a small environment like that, asking for a written agreement makes you look like a nit, which is a bad outcome too. Basically, sometimes you just get screwed.

What do you guys think a standard number for them to have returned Scorpion Man on the 750 would be? I would think... uhh... 100?

I would have made an argument for 20% of the realized gain and been entirely satisfied with 10%. Had I been on the other side from OP, I probably would have offered 50 and let myself get talked up to 75.
And yes: good story, SM.
