Billions on your bank account by error, would YOU tell?

exactly when after a month during the month end close the government figures out that 10 billion are missing, you have already done your bets, made Ladbrokes go broke... invested in the oil fields in Saudi Arabia and bought Firaxis games... Hopefully made a 1-2% profit and you are ready to return the amount in full

Ladbrokes = Broke Lads

No need for the clerk. Just ask to talk to the manager because you need to handle a large transaction. It wouldn't be an unusual enough request for him to call the cops or anything.

I don't know about how much approval the manager needs to get to transfer large amounts of cash (multiple millions)

Of course, you're now opening yourself up to fraud charges if the manager doesn't go for it.

I hate to tell you this, Richelieu, but I'd turn you in in a heartbeat if you made that offer to me...

I also return wallets with the cash still in them...

I'd probably just let it stay on my bank account hoping nobody would notice, and if nobody has contacted me about after 6 months I'd probably start spending a bit at a time (like buying a new computer)

and you could never ever sleep in peace at night again knowing that you could have paid off the debt of worlds 50 poorest nations (with the help of your bank manager of course) and you didn't do it

Not least because your ass would be fried if you didn't

OMG I feel sooooooo bad now.

I would return a wallet with the cash inside if i did happen to find one, at least i like to think so. And i sometimes post the truth on Poly. That, i can certify.

I'm not saying that to make you feel bad, mon p'*** chou.

Just pointing out that you're running a large risk with each person you bring into your conspiracy.

Hahahahaahah

it censored "petit" because I dropped the e and put in an apostrophe.

I'd call some big time lawyer and tell him that if he can get the money transferred to some account where the government cannot take the money back, he can have a percentage.

Then I'd go to the Cayman Islands or something.

Then maybe I'd negotiate to give the money back... for a fee of course.

Maybe it would work, maybe not. But there is no harm in trying.

Just be sure to rub your bank statement in that Bears t-shirt of yours. Then you're home free.

I'll do one better.

I'll call Mike Ditka and have him come to the bank with me!

Da Coach!
