It can be assumed that the Japanese in question had a good time between April 8th and April 21st this year. Shortly before that, his account had unexpectedly received 46.3 million yen, the equivalent of around 341,000 euros. And by April 21 all the money was gone.
Waste is of course not the same as waste, the life philosopher and ex-soccer player George Best said everything with his legendary sentence, according to which he spent a lot of money on alcohol, women and fast cars – and simply squandered the rest. George Best would probably have described what that Japanese man did with his suddenly bulging account: He spent a lot of money on gambling. He just gambled away the rest.
The fact that some people in Japan classify his money-spending as “morally questionable” can actually only be due to the fact that the 24-year-old did not invest the sum more sensibly, in the best sense or in the best sense. Or can one expect him to complain to the municipality about its own mistake, about having received far too much from the Corona support fund, namely 463 times the planned 736 euros?

And he cannot compensate for anything, he should not have any property. Apart from the memory of two wasteful weeks.
