Topic Wiki

This thread is to discuss whether people feel that something is unethical, not to find out what the law*/T&C says.

Any Halachic questions should be posted here.

*According to CountValentine this includes religion, but unfortunately for him, the general consensus is that religion will always be entwined in this thread.

*Hint* If you have to ask, It's most likely not ethical.

I just moved into a new apartment and for about $1000 in cash tucked away in the bed frame. Should I return it?

It's probably drug money.

Burn it.

Or give to charity.

I am spending the money to make slight renovations on the apartment. Changing all of the light fixtures in the apartment.

It probably got there from a previous tenant.  No the landlord. So using it on the apartment is irrelevant.
How to return it to a previous tenant? Talk to the landlord about who was there before.  He may not tell you, or even know how to get in touch with them.
It it's rightly yours, no need to give it to tzedoko - it's yours.  If it's not yours, giving it to tzedoko doesn't make it keeping it right. 
Ask a Rav the halocho, then make  your ethical decision.

No, I can't pay for it. It doesn't let me on the app store. I tried using a VPN and it still didn't work.

So, we still never clarified this: Do you think a bank can see that you got a bonus already based on your SSN even if you changed the FFN? Or is the connection solely based on FFN?

 Can or does? And by sees do you assume a human is looking at every bonus awarded?

Can. I'm sure if they actually did look, they would not award the bonus again. I want to know if someone churns properly with a new FFN, could they still technically look his account up by SSN and decide not to give the bonus again? Or because there's a new FFN, they can't search him up properly to see if he ever got the bonus before?
