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.

They'll take it back.

When I was in college my parents transferred me money to help with expenses. The bank took it once from my parents but put it in my account twice.

When they took it back, they took both transactions, so I had a check bounce. Which was fun.

They'll take it back, and the interest.  

I had a friend, a very successful business man, who had that happen once.  The bank put four hundred thousand in his checking account by mistake.  They didn't figure out there was a problem for two years.  Now just because my friend was successful didn't mean he was really good with money.  His checking account was rather hefty as he never really bothered to balance it.  He just kept putting money in it and honestly didn't have a clue what was happening.  What happened was his son transferred funds into investment accounts and the four hundred thousand was included in that transfer.  The bank finally got around to tracking down the money and demanded it on the spot.  My friend, being a very gregarious drinking man told the bank manager to go fuck himself.  Again, he had no idea how much money he had and just figured the bank was trying to rip him off.  

I got to hear him testify in court when the bank sued him.  It was like putting Ron White on the witness stand.  The poor judge nearly had to clear the courtroom because it was very hard to keep from laughing.  The bank got their money back.  They always get their money back.

Why do you have $2 Mil plus in one bank? Do you not understand how FDIC works? Have you never heard of the great depression? I heard there's going to be a run on he banks and financial collapse come Monday. Best to transfer the bulk of it to 9 other FDIC backed institutions in increments of $250K. For the safe keeping.

And why in the fuck do you regularly keep $35k in a checking account to start with? That's throwing away good money right there. Could buy an ACOG in a year with the interest from that.

Something like that happened at a bank where I was working, back in 1985.  A teller in the Wire Transfer Department mistakenly put about $750K into a low-balance checking account that belonged to a poor couple who lived in a trailer park.

The couple went straight to the press after the bank's security director, whose nickname was Moose, banged on their door and demanded that they return the money.  Their story was that they had given a bunch of it to a missionary in Africa, after paying off their kids' debts (a house and a couple of cars IIRC.)

Bank ended up recovering most of it but had to write off about 1/3 of the money.

Maybe a fun option but not likely to work:

At 4.5%, you’ll pull in $8k a month while the bank figures out what to do with the money gone.  The other bank will slow the process too.  If you go 2-3 weeks between correspondence with the bank and their lawyers, the whole process could easily take easily 60-90 days to unfuck the situation.

You keep the interest between now and then.

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?

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.

What if, wait for it, you put a pressure washer under your cart and the cashier doesn't scan it.  It's your pressure washer now boys!

Brutal. Here is what happens:

OP moves the money. The bank will quickly (likely) find out what happened when their accounts don't settle, or the intended recipient reports not receiving their money. Bank locks the account and deducts the entire amount. They contact the bank it goes to and provides that bank with a hold harmless (indemnity letter) to return the money back to the BOFD (bank of first deposit). The other bank locks your account pending the resolution.  Any interest generated (if any at all) would be held and returned to the BOFD after some legal paper is shuffled back and forth. Both accounts end up closed. I have first hand experience in this very thing (not bank mistakes but dealing with fraudulent wires/transfers/etc going from bank to bank).

When it's all said and done, OP will rely on the compassion of bank attorneys as to whether or not they take any other action, ie. report it to the various ABC agencies that watch this type of stuff for what could be bank fraud.

This thread has been a great character exercise.


ETA: Oh and putting all of this on a public forum helps with that little intent piece and refutes any possible plausibly deniability anyone may have.

I had a bank accidentally issue a Debit card to someone and they tied it to my checking account which had 11K in it at the time as I was about to pay off a contractor for some work.

The low lifes drained $500 a day out of it until it was down to 2K.  

The bank had video of them going through the bank drive through ATM and they also went to a casino in Connecticut for a couple days.

The bank at first said I didn't protect my number so someone else got it and I may face a penalty for that but when they got the video of the drive through, I just ended up having to go to the local police and file a police report (I'm guessing so they could press charges), then they sent me a letter briefly stating they refunded all my money and call if I have any questions.

Yes- I was annoyed I had to take a half day of vacation and go to the police station, not to mention initially being threatened with a penalty for not protecting my ATM code.

The crime is committed once the money is moved, regardless as to when it's repaid. If you take something from a store that your did not buy or are otherwise not entitled to and get caught, are you still criminally liable for the theft in the first place? The answer is yes.
