This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Donating stolen money doesn't make the money not stolen.

And the guy did spend time with the kid, an hour a week for 10 weeks, plus expenses (Xbox games, snacks, etc). So he was absolutely providing a service for the kid, it just wasn't the service the parents expected. I don't see any reason for the guy to not expect some form of compensation for that.

I think taking the money was in a good cause, but keeping it wasn't. But I agree he deserves some compensation.
