Its sad that humans are so greedy. I will not lie, I would have done the exact same thing. I reckon greed will be the downfall of the human race.

banks fault.
not enough to risk anything tho , they were always gonna notice

now if you add a zero, i would have wired it to a non extraditable country and would be residing there right now :smilewinkgrin:

Who you think pays the bank now! Insurance = Tax Payers!

 

[draggar]

Yet the bank can do the opposite ($10.00 instead of $1,000) and sit on it for weeks and nothing is done about it, even after complaining.

True - they weren't too smart to cash it all out like they did.

Yep. This isn't a $500 bad check. This isn't overdrawing your account by a few thousand, this is taking $170K that you know isn't your's.

I'm wondering if the person who processed the deposit still has a job?

 

[DomainMagnate]

dang, they should've changed their names and relocated to mexico

 

[PRED]

That's why If you're going to take that much money you need to leave the country. A nice country with no extradition treaty with U.S..

This stuff happens every once in a while with diff elements in it. Legally, it's not a B/W story. Sometimes, folks get away with it :lol:

Luxury yacht on international waters..martial law baby! You try to board this vessel and deadly force will be used! pop pop pop pop pop pop pop :yes:

But in all seriousness that is not alot of money really...sounds like alot though but hardly the "run off to another country" kind of cash imo

 

[Dale Hubbard]

No, it's not 'runaway cash' and dn-101 is right, it's not black and white either. Buys a sh*tload of weed tho'...

$170k isn't much of a luxury yacht, actually... And don't forget you still need money for fuel, food, repairs and berth in port.
