Haha, let's see. My friend had his adsense account banned on the last 23th. But he just received a check, and it was sent on the 27th. He was all happy and stuff, when I asked "well, what if you get in trouble for cashing that?" A big argument ensued. I don't know much about these things, but something tells me Google can create trouble for him if he cashes this check. So to make things interesting, I bet 20 bucks saying that he'd probably get himself in trouble for cashing that. So, am I gonna win or what? Hope so, I don't wanna fork over 20 bucks to this guy.
Dammit If he cashes this check, I'll never hear the end of it. "I was right, you were wrong, I was right, you were wrong..."
I concur...Once a cheque is issued, the funds earned were considered valid. He can cash it without any worries.
Yep if the Google accounts sent out the cheque then they have already checked and cleared it for cashing. Sorry but you lost this bet
AHH, GOD DAMMIT The worst thing isn't the money. I will never hear the end of it. But why Google sent him a check 4 days after his account got banned?! I didn't believe him (I knew he got banned, so I thought he wouldn't get a check) but then he showed it to me. Oh well. Now I have to avoid him in the building
Thats correct...Its the check issue date, not when it was sent. He just got lucky with the lag time between those
Tell your friend that Google's check might not bounce, but your check for $20 will for sure. BTW, why was he banned?
