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

When I used to work in insurance someone had made a mistake and paid out a death benefit of 2.5 million instead of 250k someone had caught the mistake right after the money had been sent to the family the insurance company was too shook to admit they made a mistake and didn't want the bad publicity so they knowingly accepted the L

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.

reading this thread i can see why their dumbazz thought they could get away with it. common sense says to leave it alone cause you know it ain't yours. at most transfer it to savings.

now whatever financial issues they had before they just made exponentially worse.

proof that common sense is getting less and less common.

 

[JesusFOREVER]

These charges are bullshyt god damn i hate this system we live in fr

 

[UserNameless]

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

Close thread .

I mean... Why should they be punished cause the bank made a mistake and gave them the money? I get it they didn't earn it, but what if some money magically appeared at your house are you going to return it? Hell no bro, fukk that bank.

But the money didn't magically appear in their account. You wake up and $120k shows up in your account, you know a mistake was made somewhere.

but under a system of white supremacy that ain't possible

What system allows you to spend $120kb of someone else's money and not have any consequences?

 

[GnauzBookOfRhymes]

i respect these ppl....they gave more than 10% of the money to their friends in need

i think the bank should have to eat the loss...companies refuse to cover losses/refund money all the time even when customer made an honest mistake

 

[O.Red]

I would imagine it's language in your banking agreement that absolves the bank of responsibility for the mistake.

Banks run the world

spent it all in 14 days

i could spend 120k in about 2 hours
better not let this mistake happen to me ill play dumb

 

[The Radiant One]

nah its not retarded. you don't know what kind of debt they had.

Yeah it is campers go down in value they could have just paid off their debt. If they had no debt put it in some mutual funds and they could have made a few free grand.

You really prepared to take a felony on your record for what amounts to a couple years worth of earned income on a common job? If a person had $120K sitting in the bank and they were frugal as hell they might be able to last 3-4 years on it granted they owned their home and care already outright. That's not fukk up your life money.

 

[OneTimeforTheMind]

120k in cash I aint gotta tell a soul but 120k already in your account haha so traceable. Terrible

 

[GoAggieGo.]

At the very least, I would’ve paid off credit cards and student loans with that.

The bank can get the rest back, and come after me for whatever I owe. What I needed from the 120 would’ve been gone in an hour or so.

Big Mama looking down on us

Man fukk these banks for real. That couple knew what they were doing which is why they spent the money so fast, but I'm not bout to sit here and pretend to be outraged that they did it. If you're a financial institution that doesn't have the kind of fail-safes in place to prevent this kind of error in 2019 that's on you. Just take the L, move on and try to figure out why this kind of thing is still possible in the 21st century.

This....banks working with billions, what’s a $100k write down. But of course only the banks get to rob people...after they were bailed out by us. fukk all that. Create a reasonable damages settlement and hold your L
