We had a local retired TV news reporter go to federal prison for spending a balance in her account that didn't belong to her. She got a mistaken deposit of about a million and didn't speak up - started spending and when they caught up with it she was in trouble.
We had a local retired TV news reporter go to federal prison for spending a balance in her account that didn't belong to her. She got a mistaken deposit of about a million and didn't speak up - started spending and when they caught up with it she was in trouble. I knew a person years ago whose wife was let go and got a two weeks severence pay of about a thousand dollars. The company made a mistake and sent a check for $10,000.
They cashed the check, and when the company found out about the mistake the company asked for the money back above what she was entitled to.
'They refused to give the money back and it went to court years later.
The final decision was they had to pay back $2,800 out of the $9,000 they owed the company.
