View Full Version : Ten million dollars in your account?

If Westpac put ten mill into your account by mistake, would you draw it out and piss off quick? Or would you give it all back...(you liar!)
Thinking about it, I'd probably give it back, but I'd charge them, say, 10% interest for "use of my facilities"...!
I would give it back, as to when they would get it back is another matter.

Anything that was a smaller amount would probably belong to someone who needs it back.
So if it was just a few grand I'd try to find out who it was and give it back.
$10 million on the other hand, I'd keep it inside my savings account and live off the interest. ;)
Then I can claim innocence because I didn't touch their money!

its a moral thing and morally I would give it back,
but too find out you got 10 million in your account and found out they want it back must be worth aleast a day interest just for the stress you went through relising your still a broke as biker

About ten years ago, a parking attendant at a car rental place at the LA airport found ten million dollars in the trunk of the car. Obviously, someone would be looking for it. He ended up going into hiding and was rewarded a percentage of it after a year. I think it was a million $'s. Scary shit, but a million bucks is a lot of money...

The "grab it and fuck off" response is a good one but umm... I'm following kiwifruit ont his one. There's a good chance you'll get something out of it if you play your cards right - but first establish the cards you've been dealt.

Lotsa years ago, when money was worth a lot more than it is now, we found someone's paypacket on the footpath. Now this was the ideal chance to piss off quick and spend up large - nobody would ever have known...
So did we spend it? No, of course not. We handed it in to the local constabulary and it was duly returned to the rightful owner. Who was grateful enough to give us two bottles of wine. And spend her returned pay on a holiday in Australia, which was what she had been saving for...waddaya think of that then?

If they did it then maybe ask them for 2 days interest,afterall most internet transactions take a day or so,i.e money removed from your bank,goes into banks slush fund then deposited into payees account next day or so.
The other thing is if you managed to transfer the funds no point coming back to good ol NZ,say by by family,friends,but then again if you got away with it you can fly family etc to you hehe or not.
The reason these guys scarpered was they were from overseas,they probably have no family here and never want to return,transfer funds and flee,Asian countries a pretty close travel wise for these people.

Simply having access to cash doesn't give you the right to take it and spend it.
If someone puts a $20 note on a table and turns their back on it, taking it and buggering off is theft.
Same deal if someone deposits money to the wrong account number, or deposits the wrong amount to the right account. The fact that an error on their part gave you access to the money doesn't give you any legal or moral right to use it.
To be honest, I'm surprised that anyone could consider rationalising the situation any other way.
I suppose that greed is almost as much a defining human characteristic as stupidity. There's certainly a fair bit of both on display in this thread.

Well yeah in reality taking it is bloodey greedy really... first thing i would do is call the bank...
If you spend it its eventually going to get tracked and you are going to have to pay it back regardless...

With that kind of money, you couldn't just walk into a branch and withdraw it. If you transfer it electronically then there is an electronic finger print of where it went and the account WILL be watch for the next activity.
Put into the mix that to leave the country, unless your the 'jackel' with false passports stashed away, you again can be traced.
I'll give them a week before they are behind bars.
Try reading the small print of the contract you sign with the bank. Misuse of the account ( and withdrawing money that you know is not yours IS misuse) is an offence.

If it came from a bank I had no problem with, Id give it back no problem, but if it came from the scum banks who have screwed me over a few times through there own incompetance, Id make em sweat over it. Maybe get it in cash, hire a helicopter and drop it on the local branch from a monsoon bucket on a windy day. They cant say I didnt try to give it back to them.
Telecom have taken over $8,000 out of my account over the last 4 years and then done all they can to avoid giving it back. Its a good scam, and they have done it to more people than just me.

Yes, but people you need to think outside the square. There are many ways to stop the money trail dead, e.g. quickly use the money to purchase high denomination bearer bonds. Take the paper bonds with you when you skip country. Move to a country which has no extradition or similar agreements with NZ. There are plenty of places you can move to to escape legal recourse, many people do this daily. You just have to make sure you never come back.
That's if you actually want to steal it.
its not yours, taking it is theft, go to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200

When i heard this story today i intially got rather excited as to what i would do, i mean I and most people would hand it back, but these people did what most people would not be prepared to do and do a runner. Whether thought through rationally or not you would have to make a quick decision, cut all your tyes to people and the country you know.
Me, i really like my country and 6 million would not make me happy enough to live in some other overcrowded country just so i can hid...you probably could hid in comfort though.
Plus i would like to say hi to my friends and family, you would have to cut them off as well, as someone would be watching for you to make contact. If your caught... which you would be one day... you would spend a long time in the 'clink' and that is less bike riding days.
But with all this dribble, i question myself as to what i would do, and it was exciting flirting with the idea of doing a runner.
I voted "Goody two shoes", as I've already fronted up to a bank with money not belonging to me. They were very grateful for my honesty (they also had no idea where the money had gone at that stage) and presented me with a watch at a later date.
Of course, I didn’t like watches, so I sold it for $5 and bought myself lunch.:D

I'd be waiting til they asked for it back and give it back meanwhile getting some interest which hopefully I could keep... but that's just me. If I was the guy that owned the petrol station and the business was going down the shitter and looking at bankruptcy I'd probably look to run off to a non-extradition country with the money if I could. Leaving family and friends behind would suck though. I guess you could pay for some of them to come visit you.

Westpac has been screwing its customers for years with over charging.
On this basis my sympathy goes to the indavidual who made the cock up not so much too the bank.
Mind you this in no way should indicate that the couple who 'stole' the money shuld not be prosecuted 'if' they can be bought back to NZ.

I have noticed quite a few people saying they would keep the interest. Legally the person who owns the account is not allowed to keep any of it including the interest.
How ever if the money has been used for something in which they did not benefit ie donated to charity, then I believe it does not have to be repaid.

Agreeing to use the electricity on the condition you'll pay for it is pretty much the same as using the money on the condition you pay for it.
Same principle, just swap money for energy as the goods.

Work overpaid most of us once. One girl was overpaid several hundred dollars which went straight to the pokies. She was not happy when she found out she had to pay it back.
I got over paid something silly like $20 and they came around with a form giving us options to pay it back. Either it comes out of the next pay or we can choose to take out an amount each week. Was tempted to take out 10 cents a week just too annoy them.

I'd pay $1m to a good lawyer on the condition he wins the case for me to keep the other $9m.
Failing that I'd dispense it amongst various charities.... moving electronic money around is one thing, getting your hands on the folding is quite another.
I can tell you one thing... the guy must have been a motorcyclist. After all we all know motorcyclists are tattoo covered, dishonest creatures. :devil2:

When I did my business banking this morning (cash deposit) I asked the teller if she would miss out the decimal point...she told me to fuck off...cow.
This has to be an inside job.

How do you get it out of the country though? Wouldn't it be just a string of electronic transfers - if spammers can find me - surely....
The didn't have it in folding - could they? Where would they cash that amount?
2 words mate: Bearer bonds.
" It differs from the more common types of investment securities in that it is unregistered – no records are kept of the owner, or the transactions involving ownership. Whoever physically holds the paper on which the bond is issued owns the instrument. This is useful for investors who wish to retain anonymity. The downside is that in the event of loss or theft, bearer bonds are extremely difficult to recover."

Yep once it's out of the banking system it will be impossable to trace. They do however have an ID. That's more difficult to lose. If caught, no when caught they can both expect top banged up for a long time.

Having that sort of money and being on the run would, I suspect, put most relationships close to the rails.
