Spending Misplaced Money: A Felony?
What would you do if you woke up and found out that thousands of dollars had been accidently deposited into your bank account? I know most of you would like to say you’d do the right thing, but honestly, I would have done the same thing as a man in Nebraska. Spend it all. He has been charged with theft of mislaid property for spending the money the bank was accidently depositing into his account. I feel really bad for this guy… The bank makes a terribke mistake and should be the ones held responsible. I liken this to leaving bread on a poor man’s table and expecting him not to eat it. It’s not like the bank doesn’t make plenty of money on interest, anyway. The few thousand dollars was huge to this guy, to the bank, it was a few minutes work.
