    This reminds me of the Hector Hugh Munro (Saki) story: The soul of Laploshka, where a man is haunted by the ghost of a man to whom he owed money:
    https://talesofmytery.blogspot.com/2013/12/hector-hugh-munro-saki-soul-of-laploshka.html

    “But towards the poor or to those of the same limited resources as himself his attitude was one of watchful anxiety; he seemed to be haunted by a besetting fear lest some fraction of a shilling or franc, or whatever the prevailing coinage might be, should be diverted from his pocket or service into that of a hard-up companion.
    …

    That evening, at the crowded corner by the Cafe de la Paix, I caught a fleeting glimpse of Laploshka. He smiled, slightly raised his hat, and vanished. I never saw him again. After all, the money had been GIVEN to the deserving rich, and the soul of Laploshka was at peace.”

    They’d rather have a stiff drink after all that work, though.

    How about a Cocktails for Craven Capitalists Fund?
