And if you're at all worried about using sketchy money, use it to buy a pedal for me. I'll take the heat for you!

maybe he pirated your songs or watched a youtube of a concert and felt like you needed money.

I've encountered a few people who'd do that.

Was it marked as a gift or as a payment?
If it's the former, enjoy the cash. If it's the later, refund that shit hard.
