Ten million dollars in your account?

2 words .....
see ya

i'd move to Bolivia and call myself Mario

Yeah I guess moving to Bolivia and calling yourself Butch Cassidy would raise the odd eyebrow?...

[riffer]

Hmmm.

At say 5% interest, that's $1370.00 per day. I ain't saying nothing to them. Just waiting.

Can they take the interest on the money off you?

In a few months I might be going to Bermuda to live, so for a small fee I could set you up with a bank account there

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...

Money does strange things to people, it's a form of power really... and we all know power corrupts.

See post #30...ere you dismount your velocipede...

West Pac or ANZ would never see their money again, can't stand either bank.

[Hawkeye]

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.

whats yours is mine and whats mine is still mine ..

i hear the adventure biking in Bolivia is quite nice

[tri boy]

I'd spend a day electronically transfering donnotations in $9999 lots to SPCA, Canteen, Home for lost kittens etc, and then slam Westpac publicly for trying to retrieve it from places like Salvation Army. That would be brilliant public relations.
Some dumb keyboard operator is gunna get dragged over the coals on this one.
