    You shouldn't have to give it back. Especially since there were no stipulations upon acceptance of the money. Even if he decided to go to court over it, states requires that loans if over a certain dollar amount be in written contract form.

    If you did not sign a promissory note and you did not ask for the money, then it is a gift and you do not have to pay it back.
