Provided he hands over £100 pounds to someone, he probably hasn't even broken the law. He didn't specifically say it was in aid of the fund.
I once tried using "chicken" as a password, but was told it must contain a capital so I tried "chickenkiev"
On another occasion, I tried "beefstew", but was told it wasn't stroganoff.
