A friend of mine, A, posted my Paypal email to her social media without my knowledge (I'm not upset about that), and another person, B, sent $2500 to my Paypal, as A was banned from Paypal and cannot open another account. I eventually found out the funds were meant for A and not myself, and after A told me to keep $500, I then offered to I send as much as Paypal would allow me ($900) to A's bank account and then get the rest out a little at a time through cashback at the grocery store. A is upset that I have not been quicker about getting the money out ($720 out of $2000 is still to be given to her), and B has threatened to press charges on me for theft. Is there an actual case here, or are those funds legally mine, as they were purposefully deposited into my personal Paypal account, not A's? I was never planning to keep any of the $2000 after I learned it was meant for me to withdraw for A, but can either the sender or A actually have a civil or criminal case against me for the remaining funds? I did use around $300 of the funds for an emergency car repair, but explained this to A and A seemed completely okay with that the day before this accusation against me.
