A $1.2 Million Bank Error Buys a House, and an Arrest, Officials Say

I had a little back and forth with some people on Twitter this morning about this article. Apparently plenty of people see nothing wrong with this woman going out and spending this money. I say plenty of people don't understand how the real world works. It's not finders/keepers, the bank clearly made an error and it wasn't her money to spend. What do you guys think?

My Aunt worked for a Bank in NYC and the Money machine in the lobby went nuts and was giving out way too much money . Most returned it but a few took it and when notified argued that it was a gift and they didn't steal it. Evidently the law and I paraphrase it says once you're notified it's not your money by the Institution you must give it back or be held responsible.

Shocker plenty of people on Twitter said stealing is ok and not morally wrong

That’s exactly where those people grift.

In all seriousness...I’d take pictures to remember but wouldn’t spend it.

I would re- deposit it in their own Bank and make them look for it.
