“The investigator said “The individual amounts adding up to the fortune of money were each so tiny we will probably never unmask the culprit unless we get lucky and someone of average salary here starts spending like a fool.”
This actually happened at a bank I worked at years and years ago. One of the programmers opened a savings account and had the third decimal point of interest from savings account deposited into his. He never touched it, just watched it grow .00X at a time. Before long he had a couple hundred thousand.
He only got caught because the dollar amount caught the interest (no pun intended) of one of the sales people wanting to move him to another investment vehicle. They took a look at the deposit history and the light bulb went off.
There was no prosecution. In fact he got a raise and a promotion to the then fledgling computer security division.
