RE: Should the "White Knight" get a finder's fee?

in Ask the Hive5 years ago

In theory yes, but in practice I think that would put White Knight in a legal crosshairs. Right now he had no personal benefit from what he did. He simply prevented a theft being rewarded. But what we call "returning stolen goods" could be cast as theft and left to courts to sort out. The lack of a profit motive would be important in that situation, so best to leave it out.

Sort:  

Yeah you are right and I would assume that it would all be done more anonymously than a
HDF proposal :)

That's some serious lawyer talk, never thought about it :)
