While half of NYU’s student population crowded the World Trade Center the night of Osama Bin Laden’s death, one Sternie unsurprisingly rushed to his computer to make some money, or more precisely: $300,000. But here’s the catch: he’s not getting any of it.

Only a few hours after President Obama made his announcement, 23-year-old Maurice Harary created Osamadeadtees.com, a website selling self-designed Osama-themed shirts and stickers. And within a few days, he reportedly made $300,000 after selling selling approximately 25,000 shirt for $12 each. We repeat: he made $300,000 in one week. That’s one way to pay off student loans.

However, according to CBS, Harary is returning it all, claiming that “celebrating over the death of someone, whoever it is, is evil in my eyes.” That’s right, he’ll soon be refunding all $300,000 in potential profit because he feels that “it’s not a positive way to be making money.” He even admitted himself, “I didn’t know it would be that viable of an idea.” To which we ask, is this guy really in Stern?

Indeed, the website now has a fat “SOLD OUT” image stamped on it, and all shirts and stickers (which, however disturbing, are quite creative) are no longer for sale. Still, if you really want an Osama shirt, you’re sure to find tons of other alternatives online.

Whether or not you agree with Harary’s decision, we’re giving him mad props for turning down that much money on the basis of principal. Add this to your massive list of reasons to hug a Sternie today.
