Suddenly I feel much better about accidentally targeting one of my own drones and having another drone attack and kill it...

I think Ahule's post is a wise one. If you keep the money that is all fine and dandy, but expect repercussions.
Personally, if it were me, I would give the money back, well, most of it, ummm, errr, all of it. I do not punish people for making errors, generally. :)
Note: that I say "personally". That means I am not responding with my TTI hat on.

Lmao koda...let me tell u my story...After dozzing off, i am startled awake for some reason, and i see what i think is the biggest pirate i have ever seen on the screen...after the last drone is back in the bay i realize, the pirate that i thought i saw was really the mouse cursor. ...talking about not feeling so bad .
With all the posts in your favor james, your corp. probably could start a collection fund to help with the war effort (added to the 100mil).

Okay, here's a deal. TTI gives back the Miner II BPCs they 'found' when the art director lost stuff, and the small fry can give back the .1 BILLION isk.
Pot, kettle, here's your new friend, Mister INKY BLACK.

I take responsibility for the mistake, although it was not *technically* my fault.
I gave one of my builder contacts about 800 million ISK (my personal money - we do not pool at Taggart) to buy minerals in Korama. She put in a buy order for 100 million trit @1 ISK. Obviously, she transposed the two fields, something I have done many times myself (and I am sure you have too, although probably not in this magnitude).
I am currently bulding 4 battleships there and selling - the Raven, Apoc, Scorpion, and Megathron (base prices 99mm, 109mm, 69mm, 99mm, respectively). We have many customers that come there because they know I will beat any price they can find.
After realizing the mistake, I contacted James and offered both him and his corp many things, trying to be "nice guy".
a) Any battleship built at cost (valued at 20-40 million ISK savings for them)
b) A big pile of Miner 2s that TTI can get for cheaply via a pricing arrangement
c) a near billion ISK mining contract for his corporation in Korama to bring me minerals.
I felt that the three above offers were indeed preferable to hostile action, because we prefer to enrich people rather than blow them up, but we are perfectly happy doing either.
His corporation, Vector Heavy Industries, is now currently making a decision about their future, to be our friend and share in the wealth of economic partnership or to go another direction entirely.

Hahaha! I would probably do the same thing. Normal that youd run with the money, and normal that the guys who lost it get ****y. Though I would at least attempt to offer you a better deal than buying a BS at cost 
I just had to ask: Did this one slip through your wonderous, make ure no idiots get in, application process? YOU ARE IN TTI YOU SILLY FOOL
EDIT: Oh and take TTI for all they are worth, they have the right to ask for the return of the money, but its really stretching it to go to war with some guys corp because YOU made a mistake. Thats just low....mind you, TTI are usually just low.

You have every right to keep it, theft is a choice.
TTI have evry right to extract a measure of war against you, and if that doesnt convince you to return the money, then upon your entire corp. Actions of any corp member must be held responsible back to his corp.
I would suggest you work out a solution with TTI, get something worthwhile for returning the money, otherwise 100 million will soon dissapear in lost assets/time if you are added to the VA War list.

guys its only 100mil not enought for all this hastle, sure keep it they made a mistake and its their own fault, as for the "we will build you a battleship at cost" offer thats just insulting with 100mil he can go and get and battleship he wants.
TTI grow up take responsabilty for your own mistake and move on. Its not exactly like 100mil going to break the corp bank is it. So you goto war, so what if their corp is so new then they may as well disolve and reform or even make new chars and then you will never get your money back. Make them a real offer and settle this like business people.

And stupidity isn't. Sure 100mil for 1 trit is obviously somebody's mistake, but it isn't the mistake of the person filling the order and calling him a thief is low. He could be a standup guy and work out one of the above deals, but by not doing it he IS NOT a thief.
And of course TTI has every right to make life difficult (in game) for the neo-millionaire but they should also realize they are in a VERY weal bargaining position here (he has their money, and he can easily create an alt to give the money and live happily ever after). They should stop the threats and write the whole thing off as a learning experience.
So, to sum up my thoughts (lol like anybody cares)
1. Dude should work out one of the deals offered, personally I'd skip the mining one.
2. IF he doesn't TTI should stfu about the whole thing and realize they goofed and it is wholely their fault.

b) A big pile of Miner 2s that TTI can get for cheaply via a pricing arrangement
That sounds like a killer deal. as long as it's a very big stack. I know miner IIs cost nothing to make, so if James demands a large number, don't be cheap skates, and give him what he asks. Conflict over :)

... I like the c) option better, for a miner anyway... you don't have to return the original 100 millions (as 'tis just a modest advance for the billion isk contract in question) and get to sell TTi the minerals till the end of days... :s
edit: but seriously, both b) and c) sound like fair ways to resolve things.

Keep the money. I'm not saying this to be mean, I'm saying it because that's just the way it works.
If you put an ad up on Ebay to sell something and got a paypal bid for a million dollars when you only asked for 10, and the person had made a mistake but the money had already been transferred, tough, you don't get a mulligan.
If the offer was made and accepted, that's it. don't like the outcome? Change how you do business. Don't submit orders without being sure of what you're doing. Don't blame the person who accepts the offer and get all ****y over your own mistake. Take a little responsibility, drink your sour medicine and move on.

Public Humiliation?
Firstly i doubt this even happend, secondly if i lost 100mil to a moron and he didn't give it back the last thing i do was tell him to get laid, no indeed i'd be looking for his IP address.
