A bank accidentally put $120,000 in a couple’s account. Then the pair spent most of it, police say.

[Skooby]

Don't spend that shyt

Let a year pass

Why a year?

 

[verbalkint]

I would have withdrew the money and then called the bank and said my card was stolen and I don't know who is using it or my account right now.
The bank and police will watch you like a hawk but as long as you don't get flashy with the money and keep it out of any account you are going to be good for awhile

The couple were stupid don't look off a blessing and go crazy because the bank will come back quick about the error

I'm Team #keepthemoney but that kind of withdrawal would have to be done in person. Best case scenario you ball out for 24hrs of swiping and report it stolen.

Aren't banks insured any way? This is a borderline good samaritan law offense. If someone shoved a hundred racks in my mailbox i'm not exactly getting to the bottom of that mystery.

 

[OsO]

They should have to pay the money back but they shouldn't be criminally charged, that's OD.

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Ya'll cant be serious. You have to be extra dumbass to spend money thats not yours

How hard is it to understand that they shouldn’t be criminalized over what is essentially the bank’s fault......

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

What else do you call using 100k in money that isn’t yours? Of course it’s a felony theft charge

The money was in there account...... If I lost a grand in cash, and you found it and spent it, it would not be considered a felony.... why is this scenario different...?

 

[se1f_made]

I would've yolo'd it all on dumb option trades during earnings season.

You definitely r/WSB

My job paid me two checks one time and i cashed both of them bytches

Never heard anything about it afterwards

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Only the banks are allowed to spend other people's money

Yup... a lot of dumb posters in this thread, and Americans in general.... I learned major corps have little to no respect for the general population.... Old Bank CEO told me when I was 22... thought he was just a low down old man... but over time, I came to see that he was exactly right... and I now understand why...

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Y’all live in Lala land on here.

How you going to negotiate terms with something you STOLE from somebody?

How did they “steal” it when the bank put it in their account, albeit accidentally, but still.... If I give you too much change from a cash transaction, is that stealing as well?

You are suppose to turn the money into the police station and wait for a set number of days before reclaiming it.

That ain’t what I asked you, but I knew I would get a bullshyt answer regardless...

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Hustling backwards. When shyt like that happens with that much money you know the Bank's gonna find out. What you do is report it and they'll give you a big ass credit anyway for being upfront.

The bank ain’t giving you shyt

Because it wasn’t their money to spend. It’s really simple. Why are y’all thinking so hard?

:OLIVIAFACEPALM1: @ people calling the couple dumb when the idiots at the bank put the money in their account in the first place.
