Ten million dollars in your account?

What happened to Monopoly rules:
"Bank Error in your favour - collect $X"

That's all the were doing.

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.

I feel most sorry for the poor bugger who made the mistake. Wonder if they still have their job?

I've heard that the bank is no longer offering jobs to Parkinson's sufferers.

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.

The argument extended again - if it ain't your power then you can't just use it. Likewise - if it ain't your money...

I guess my point is that the Power Companies do not have to return "stolen" money etc

I think he might be a Virgo - this if from todays Herald....

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Using instinct as a guide you make decisions on the run. Moon in the speculative sector transforms you into a risk-taker and doubles your
chance for success. Move outside your work and social comfort regions.

I would run with it, go to europe and ride the nurgburgring alot and hire some nice hussies with merkins to hide their infections. Simple

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?

What's biking like in Bolivia anyway?

Biking in Bolivia is shit, 84 octane fuel, shit roads and high altitudes, the roads are not fun... great place to adventure though. Very hard to navigate around also.
