Ten million dollars in your account?

[_Shrek_]

westpac gave me $25000 after i made a deposit of $25 back in 91 it was in my account for a week before I noticed so I finished work early shot in to the bank to make a withdraw only to find they found their mistake that morning the old girl behind the counter said, to slow better luck next time & gave me a

I'd give it back because i wouldn't want to be on the run for the rest of my life.....

If this guy is in China and the money is no longer in the banking system then both he and money are gone gone gone.

His partner on the other hand is a Kiwi. I don't fancy her chances too much. A life time away from home that's providing they stay together. If she has got any brains she'd listen to her mother and come home. The longer she stays away the less likely she can absolve herself from some of the blame.

Well he has really done it now. Apparently they drove from Rotorua to Auckland airport in his holden ute and it had an EXPIRED WOF.
On the other hand they must be coming back because they left the ute in the carpark. the banks resident optimist thinks so anyway.

Now THAT'S a job I'd like...wonder how much it pays? Probably heaps since it's so hard to see anything good these days...

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.......

It's funny how YOU were i the wrong. Must've been the cmpany's accountant fault and he was shifting blame.

When my work overpaid me I just had to go to the bank and withdraw it. They took it back as cash and put it in with thier banking that day.

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.

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.

[Drunken Monkey]

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.
