Was it a mistake? So no dividends next week?
I received same. Guessing it's a mistake.
Smells like a mis-click to me. My estimates were for a tiny bit more than the one payment we got, but nowhere near double. We shall wait for clarification for the powers that be though...
How does it work if it was a mistake? Does the excess get removed from our accounts automatically?
I doubt (and hope) that's not possible. I imagine it will be deducted from next week's payouts, though this will obviously cause problems for people planning on buy/selling shares in the meantime. If there were no sales there would be no problem, but as we're back in open-market mode then this could be a bit of a whoopsie. As I was saying, wait for the powers that be to decide how to handle it.
Worst case scenario (for him) is he just takes it on the chin at a cost of ~30BTC to him/the company in order to avoid the complication of dealing with the shares that change hands between now and next week...
