but I"d go someplace like Switzerland that won't extradite you

We totally have an extradition treaty with Switzerland. Of course, if you anally rape a 14-year-old girl then they'll probably deny extradition because who wouldn't hit that and she was probably asking for it amirite. You wanna go somewhere like Cuba to avoid any possibility of extradition. Am I the only one curious why LLY was depositing large sums of cash? Either you deal drugs or you won big at a poker game? Or maybe illegal street vending? I suppose it could also be legal street vending, but that just doesn't seem right.

He saw his pimp obviously.Wait, no, I mean he's the pimp and the women who he employs saw him.You know, to give him his cut from the money they made whoring.Is that how it works? Or do they give their pimp all the money and then he gives them their cut? That's probably the standard business model.Because if that's the case, then I want to go back to my original answer that he saw his pimp.Anyway, in summation: prostitution.

Call the bank and tell them that you deposited 20x your actual deposit, but they only gave you 10x the amount.Then tell them since you're in such a good mood, you'll let the mistake slide this one time, and just keep what were you given.

I had a similar situation. Withdrew $1,000, asked for it in 20's. I was playing like poker and/or am a baller. I walk away, see the teller has given me 50 50's instead of 20's, but my withdrawal slip said $1,000.

I feel like this one you would have gotten away with since it was just a teller error with no record of the erroneous transaction.

So, I called BofA last night and informed them of their error. It took me 25 minutes to tell the bank that I was kindly giving them the money. It appears that the money is now gone from my account. Sigh. It was fun while it lasted.

I'm sure he'll have to pick it up. Postage is an expense.

Yes! That's what he should have spent it on!!

I would have waited a week, then called the bank and said "I made a deposit last week, and I believe there was an error, I believe you guys deposited too much money. I lost my reciept, and I don't remember the exact amount that I deposited, I do know it was roughly between '~x' and '~3x' though. Hopefully your records show the correct amount, and we can get this resolved."It gives them a chance to throuroughly check their records. If they have access to the proper amount, you get that amount back, if they don't, they pretty much have to leave the higher estimate in your account, and at least you can rest easy, knowing that they don't actually know how much you really deposited.realistically though, your course of action was probable the best.

So, yesterday I deposited some cash into my Bank of America bank account. It was a somewhat large amount for me (let's call it x, where x > $1000). I did it in person at the teller simply by giving the woman cash, swiping my debit card, and having her deposit it. I had to write in a deposit slip the amount. Usually I just use the ATM machine, but since this was larger than usual, I decided to do it in person. I got a receipt, and I thought I checked the receipt and it said the correct amount. I'm pretty sure I've since thrown away the receipt. I'm also pretty sure she counted the money in an automatic counting machine.Anyway, long story short, I checked my bank account today and I saw that, instead of having x added to my account, I had 10x added to my account. Since x was a lot of money to me, 10x is, well, a great deal of money. Since I deposited in cash, the money is immediately available to me.So, I guess my question is: what's our policy about this again? What's my responsibility, and how quickly do I have to fulfill it? Is there some statute of limitations...?I'm a honest person and I want to do what's right, but if I'm legally allowed to say nothing, I'll happily do that...Thoughts?

The bank will find the error, and you will go to jail if they don't get the $ back. This ain't Monopoly.

This is weird, but three times in the past 36 hours, a cashier gave me too much money. I counted it out every time and gave it back to them with a smile. I'm hoping that there will be good karma for it, at some point down the road.

Couple withdraws money, flees after bank error, New Zealand institution mistakenly deposited $6.1 million into account

Let's suppose this happened to you. Would you take the money and start a new life for 6 million dollars? Assume that you are able to withdraw the money and leave the country without getting caught. I don't know, but it seems reasonably possible to get a fake identity and launder the money. As for the moral issue, I think it is fairly gray. You aren't stealing from an individual. Society unfairly rewards people all the time. Why shouldn't you be one of those people? Is there any moral difference between a genetic lottery supported through unjust governments and a bank error lottery?
