OK, unusual and even inconceivable events can occur, and I’ll give up the “special idiots” clause. However, it remains ludicrous for neither omega nor the victim to have considered any possibility that the victim’s $100 in the bank would be unavailable for some reason.
The agreement as stated was “pay $100 after getting to the city and stabilized” It was not “pay the $100 currently in the account if you can and nothing otherwise”. Omega is smart enough to phrase the offer as intended.
A competent contract lawyer might argue that the victim was not yet “stabilized,” in the sense that living in a modern city with no assets except a wooden rifle butt could hardly be considered a stable condition. Does the victim have a job, or some other source of income, by which he might produce $100 in some reasonable amount of time and then pay Omega?
