Transfer it to a high yield savings account in a different bank.
When they ask for it back, transfer the principal back to the account they put it in.

This is clown world so the bank will go tits up and the account will lose everything. FDIC insurance will eventually give you 250k, and then the bank will demand their 2.2 million back from you or else you go to jail.
You should have kept it somewhere safer OP.

When they contact you to get it back, tell them you have initiated the transaction but it will take 30 days to process.

I was in college in 1989.  My “MAC” card which is what everyone called it back then showed an incorrect balance

I probably had less than $15 in my checking account and then one day it showed up and said I had $83,000.
I printed out the receipt and showed my college buddies who all wanted to take the money and go to Hawaii for three days.

I still have that receipt. We never went to Hawaii.

With all due respect, if he moves that money from an account controlled by that bank into another outside of its control, he will have earned $2.2M in income -a taxable event. The government will argue that angle. Unless he pays it all back in the same tax year, interest included and probably fines and legal fees as the cherry on top.

He's paying it all back in the same year. Probably the same month.

He can set up an auto sweep into another account (high interest savings) with plausible deniability. The bank will contact him frantically and as long as he plays ball, tells them its coming back and remains contactable they won't do anything else.

Just leave it there for as long as it goes unoticed. Keep business as usuall (don’t spend it) and pretend you are an idiot who never checks your balances. They will get it back when they catch it. After about 5- 7 years if they don’t notice put it in a different account

However it if we’re me i’d give it about a month and if it was still there I would tell the bank, or maybe higher a lawyer for legal advice and see if there was a possibility that someone anonymously deposited that into my account. If I was able to legally keep the money i’d give some to they guy on ARFCOM who told me to higher a lawyer.

I would definitely bring it to their attention, in person and at a branch office quickly.   Otherwise it is likely when they catch their error they will freeze your account while they suss it out.

Would a reasonable person believe the balance available from their bank?

Why yes, yes they would.

I’ve wired hundreds of k between banks. Never was it a taxable event.  It was moving cash…aka a wire transfer.  Phone call to issuing bank, recorded line, I authorize. Done.

It’s not someone else’s money. It’s his. According to the bank that is his property. Don’t know where you’re from but in KY we take property rights very very seriously.

Reasonable person standard is a legal term.

Now if it’s an error or omission the bank insurance can cover that.

If the sending bank authorized the wire, that is by their own admission HIS property.

It’s not someone else’s money. It’s his. According to the bank that is his property. Don’t know where you’re from but in KY we take property rights very very seriously.

Reasonable person standard is a legal term.


@spidey07 I'm sorry, I have to laugh at this.


See my edit. If the bank allows the wire, they admit it’s his property. That’s why I said don’t use a clearing house. (ACH)

Quoted:
Transfer it to your high yield savings at another bank and start getting interest.  When the bank realizes their mistake and wants it back , just transfer back and let them have it.  In the meantime you got a some free interest and everyone is made right at the end.



Then the IRS wants their cut and you pay more in taxes than the fuck up made you.


Negative. You only owe taxes on the gains.

Use a wire to transfer funds, not ACH. That's instant and doesn't have the delay of the clearing house. Use the phone to wire it.  As long in do the wire by talking to and authorizing it by talking to somebody.

You want to move that money right fucking now.

With all due respect, if he moves that money from an account controlled by that bank into another outside of its control, he will have earned $2.2M in income -a taxable event. The government will argue that angle. Unless he pays it all back in the same tax year, interest included and probably fines and legal fees as the cherry on top.

It opens a door OP doesn't want opened. If the bank tries to recover that money and it's no longer in his account, they will notify the IRS, maybe the FBI and certainly law enforcement local to him. They will invite the man into his life.

18 U.S. Code   1344 - Bank fraud
Whoever knowingly executes, or attempts to execute, a scheme or artifice
(1) to defraud a financial institution; or
(2) to obtain any of the moneys, funds, credits, assets, securities, or other property owned by, or under the custody or control of, a financial institution, by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises;
shall be fined not more than $1,000,000 or imprisoned not more than 30 years, or both.


Printing off balance receipts and trying to slay pussy is the best advice in this thread.
He's paying it all back in the same year. Probably the same month.

He can set up an auto sweep into another account (high interest savings) with plausible deniability. The bank will contact him frantically and as long as he plays ball, tells them its coming back and remains contactable they won't do anything else.

That’s a dangerous gamble. ETA: the intent by moving it is to profit, so it’s still fraud.


Reasonable person standard.

Would a reasonable person believe the balance available from their bank?

Why yes, yes they would.

I’ve wired hundreds of k between banks. Never was it a taxable event.  It was moving cash…aka a wire transfer.

You’ve wired thousands of someone else’s money between banks?

ETA: an acquaintance of mine in financial crimes investigations said if the OP follows through on advice from this thread it will result in felonies. Your “reasonable person standard” fails. No reasonable person is going to believe $2.2M suddenly ending up in their checking account is anything other than a mistake. You know it, I know it. The people from the bank know it. LE and courts will know it.

Wiring that money would actually fall under federal statues so it doesn’t matter what the laws in KY state. Assuming what the OP posted is real, following your advice likely would put him in hot water. It would be fraud.

Nope. Op thought he won the lottery.

He has 2.2 mill cash, that the bank admits is his when they authorized the wire. That 2.2 mill can hire a good attorney.

If they deny the wire, well he didn’t win the lottery then. It’s not fraud if you believe it.

Have you ever wired large sums of money?  I have.  It’s a recorded line, via phone, you give permission to be recorded, name, trabsactions, etc with the issuing bank. So it’s on record they authorized it.

Shame.  I'd have dropped that amount in cold storage and disappeared.

I think what happens really depends on how the money got into the account.  If it came from outside the bank and the OP closed the account I don't think there's much the bank can do legally, although they might try because what bank isn't going to try and get a multi million dollar account customer their money?

This person had a million put in her account by Charles Swab.  While she spent a lot of the money it was the local fuzz that perp walked her.  I'm sure her being a dispatcher pissed them off.

I have wired large sums. Just because there’s a process doesn’t shield you from the penalties for committing fraud. In fact, when I’ve wired money I’ve received notice of penalties for committing wire fraud. I thought that was standard practice.

ETA: also let’s not forget OP posted news of his windfall publicly. It’s not hard to connect the dots in this digital world. If he follows your advice, he’s already admitted to knowing it was a mistake.
