Your second point makes no sense, so I can't comment on it.

Re: Dilemma: Still being paid from old job
Bump for the update: They carried on paying me for another couple of months and then I got standard paperwork through stating a leaving date of the end of April rather than the end of December. This came through in May and then the money stopped. I've not heard anything since so looks like I got away with it.
I hope I don't have to do another bump in 6 months time when they ask for it back.

Re: Dilemma: Still being paid from old job
this sort of happened to me with bank of america to the tune of about $500 or so. I realized it was probably a mistake, but being as iplayed a decent amount of live poker there was money going in and out of my bank alot. I went to the bank and tried to verify the situation. They told me that they could see no error and assured me it was my money. A couple months later $500 vanished from my account. I went in with a WTF complain, and they told me that it was never my money so they had the right to take t back. I put up a bit of an argument,but pretty much roled over as it became getting clear getting it cack would be a huge hassle. I did close my accounts at B of A out of protests. They really are Ck Sckrs over there. As it pertains to your story, I wouldn't spend it for a while if I were you just to be sure. Give it a year or something.

Re: Dilemma: Still being paid from old job
Wow i missed this thread the first time but this ahppened to a friend of mine. he lost the lawsuti and is still paying th emoney back 3 years later.
you can finds tons of articles about this kind of thing if you search on the internet. i remember the Cubs paid one guy like $5mil once cause he had teh same name as one of their pitchers. they gave him season tickets or something but made it very clear that the only thing owed was their money back to them.
