Mr. James, there are 87,000 IRS agents here to see you.
Hopefully, he was able to keep the interest on the account for the few hours involved. That, in of itself, would be millions.
Wait until tax time when the IRS claims he had 43 billion and he has to prove he didn’t.

He should have bought the bank before they could correct the error.
A system that can do this can also ‘lose’ your life savings just like that. < /finger snap>
I’d like to close my account please. I’ll take a bank check, thanks...
I’d like to close my account please. Please transfer it to my crypto account immediately.
And who exactly is the rightful owner of £43.4billion? Which of the other 24? Not like someone just left it lying around….
Could be mistaken account number on the ACH transfer from zelenskyy to the big guy?
Sun Trust was closed, but I went through the drive through as the final car, and they took my deposit. I was driving away when I glanced at the receipt. They had deposited ten thousand dollars too much. I went and banged on the door. I could see them, and they ignored me. I went back through the drive through, and they ignored me. I got out and went to the window and banged on it and held the receipt on the window yelling, “you put in ten thousand too much.” The woman reached for the mic and said, “No I didn’t.” I said, “add up the pile of checks.” She disappeared and the over the speaker I heard a distant, “Well shit!”
I did that because the bank can get really upset with you and the assumption is YOU did something. I wanted to nip that in the bud.
Do the right thing and send 99% of the money back to the rightful owner. Sounds more than fair.
Turn it back in and get the 10% courtesy reward.
Hope he got a screenshot or a printout.
In mine if you can prove certain things then you can not be charged and you can keep the money.
First that you had reason to believe the money was yours. For example you had closed a sale for which you reasonably expected a commission. In this case, probably would not work because no one would expect that amount of money in their personal account. But if it was a couple thousand dollars could be reasonable.
Second, a certain amount of time must have elapsed.
At that point it becomes the bank's problem.
Oh those wacky Ukrainians, shifting their gift cards from the US taxpayer around a little carelessly, transposing a number here & there.
QUICK....Buy Twitter!
“Although he said he had fantasised about what he could do with all that money, he contacted his bank, Chase, to arrange its return to the rightful owner.”
What if he had been walking on a roof downtown and the money accidentally was blown away and scattered to the wind? :)
