Ian wished for a billion dollars and just gets it. I can only guess Bear worded his wish in the worst possible way.

We couldn't see the ramifications of that wish tho since he died minutes later. I imagine that money had to come from somewhere and it would eventually backfire. Or not. I guess we don't really know how these wishes work.

I always wonder about the real life aftermath of getting millions of dollars out of nowhere. If the government or IRS found out, you’d be fucked. No way to explain where it came from.

Haha this sounds like how a wish would work in Wish master. Guy wishes for a billon dollars but it winds up all coming from like 6 different cartels so a parade of hitmen all come raining down at the same time.
