Ten million dollars in your account?

**slofox** · 21st May 2009, 16:02

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"...!

**Maha** · 21st May 2009, 16:03

I would give it back, as to when they would get it back is another matter.

**kiwifruit** · 21st May 2009, 16:06

I'd take legal advice

**skidMark** · 21st May 2009, 16:06

Yeah, um good luck drawing it out.....

**Slyer** · 21st May 2009, 16:13

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!

My answer would no doubt change if I could withdraw 10 mil in cash/bullion or some such and bugger off... as it stands that amount of coin is pretty easy to trace... mind you I hear bolivia is nice this time of year...

Work overpaid me $13,000 one week and being honest I told them,the bullshit I went through to get the money back to them and the way the company Accountant accused me of wrong doing it wasn't worth it I was later told I could legally spend the money and pay it back at 5 or 10 dollars aweek.......

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

Meh..................... i'd rather be oblivious.

I'd rather watch something with actual useable information in it...

Like discovery channel... CI channel...

Or porn.

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...

**Hitcher** · 21st May 2009, 16:41

While I'm the kind of guy who would immediately give it back, I can completely empathise with people who would transfer the full amount into their Cayman Islands account and depart these shores never to return.

**ManDownUnder** · 21st May 2009, 16:46

LOL - or viewed from another angle... anyone who has that kind of cash to transfer between accounts..

1) Is really going to want it back
2) Is really capable of making my life a living life hell until they get it back

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.

Go directly to your legal advice team, do not stop for anyone!
