Legally he has to return it.
I once got paid similarly. Of course, I called them and told them about it. It was an auto deposit so the funds were in my account. Without me signing anything, they were somehow able to take the funds back out of my account. Which was fine. I didn't get fired. I quit on good terms and knew the money wasn't mine to begin with.
However, possession is 9/10's of the law, isn't that how the saying goes? If I was feeling begrudged by my former employer in a situation like this one, I would shut down all communication. Don't answer calls, don't return messages, just go silent. They'll end up having to hire an attorney or do some work they probably don't have the time to do and eventually they'll give up and move on. If they don't, well, he would have to pay it back anyway so he's no worse for wear.
My advice is not free however. I'll be requiring 10,000 unies per day to any of my sites for the next 30 consecutive days. Any day under 10,000 and you start over. I don't care which site. Your choice. :-)
You're welcome.
