So I'm not really seeing amazon doing mass charge-backs due to the snafu, I'm guessing they're going to make some kind of optional payback thing or you can just work off the negative balance on your payments account. That software engineer's talking to probably became a spit-flying scream fest once they realized those payments actually went out. I wonder if some nervous nelly got like 1000 failed transfers and is now going to buy a car and quit their account...
Oh I guarentee some of the people who were not as patient as most of us were are absolutely going to quit MTurk. Hell I'm tempted to and I only got $166.32 extra. I'm tempted to just send money only to Amazon as a gift card. I'm certainly not motivated to turk today that's for sure except I know there's probably gonna be a lot of people not turking since they got extra money in their accounts.
Even as big of a mistake as this is I'm almost positive Jeff Bezos is like "oh it's cute how my peasant workers think this is a lot of money! The poors are so adorable!" I'm sure when the stock market dips a little that Bezos loses a lot more than whatever all the extra payouts amounted to. When you are worth over $100 billion (and the Amazon company is worth over a trillion) all our extra payouts are chump change.

What might happen is that they do the chargebacks and eveyone has a negative balance in their bank accounts. If that happens people could still do MTurk if they have a second account or open a second account which is a lot easier to do these days since so many banks don't use checksystems anymore to see if you owe money with a different bank like they used to do.

I have no idea whats about to happen, but I'm pretty sure it will be in amazon's favor. Either way, once it all zeroes out I'll still be positive at my bank, people who saw a huge bonus and went hog wilde might have a more bitter story to tell when this is all over.
