Couple allegedly spends $100k after bank accidentally deposits it in their account
Fox San Diego ^ | 9/7/19 | BY TRIBUNE MEDIA WIRE

A couple in Pennsylvania is facing theft charges and over $100,000 in overdraft fees after allegedly using money that was accidentally deposited into their bank account, WITN reports.

State police said the couple living at a home on Cypress Street in Montoursville got themselves into hot water after spending money that wasn't theirs.

Investigators said Robert and Tiffany Williams had $120,000 deposited into their account at BB&T May 31 through a mistake by a teller. But instead of contacting the bank about the deposit, the couple allegedly spent most of the money in just over two weeks from June 3 to June 19.

Interesting. This happened at BB&T Bank, which is pending merger with SunTrust at the end of the year. Some employees working at the behest of pissed off shareholders on one side or the other, setting up events to generate neg publicity to sour the deal?

One Friday afternoon II got $30 too much by mistake when I cashed a check for $200 and asked for it in twenties. One of the twenties turned out to be a fifty.

On Monday I returned to the same drive up window asked the teller if her drawer was missing some $$. She said she was off by $30 the previous week. I told her not to worry, here is the $30, you gave me the wrong amount on Friday.

Her response: “Damn, now my drawer is going to be off again.”

“I forgot.”

Two simple words in the English language.

They look like a responsible couple. I’m sure they will pay it back...

Legal technicalities to be worked out, but it’s stupid to spend money that isn’t yours. I would have called the bank and suggested a reward.

But I don’t have an entitlement mentality and don’t think whitey owes me money.

I wonder if it’s really “theft” if the money ended up in their account by mistake?

The money ending up in their account by mistake wasn't theft. Spending it once it got there was.

No. I am sure that the bank would win. Besides, it was someone else’s money.

Did they believe it was their property? Probably not. They would be severely “challenged” to believe it was theirs. Did they still believe it was their property after the bank and the police told them it was a bank error?

Did they offer to give it back in some way?

Unless they can convince a jury they are going to prison. And they still will be responsible for restitution.

It won’t be a controversial case. Morally, ethically or by any real public standard.

ever happened to just doing the right thing? Is an honest person that scarce nowadays?

My same questions, as well.

Some decades ago (before scanners in stores), as a young person with a very limited budget, a store clerk charged me $20 for a $200 lawnmower. (She was a new hire.) I carefully explained to her about decimal points on cash registers, and why they were important.

Although I could have gotten away with just paying $20, and I absolutely could have used the extra $180, I never considered keeping it for a minute.

And, I would bet that most of the fine folks hereabouts have similar stories. .

Toward the very end of the real estate boom in 2007. I lived in the SF Bay area.

There was a story about a couple who submitted a fraudulent mortgage application, got approved and bought a house. When the fraud was discovered, before final closing, they were forced to re-sell the house. BUT it had appreciated over $250k in that short time.

Big issue over who gets the money.

Can't believe some of the responses I am reading here.

I thought this was a conservative forum with mostly honest and moral people.
