A simliar thing thing happened to me when I was 19- I deposited a check for $1,000 and hit two extra zeros on the ATM-

To my surprise a week later I still had over $100,000 in my acct!

I took out $10,000 and 4 hours later came back to my parents house where I was living and the F-I was there with 5-0.

Needless to say they explained how that money was NOT my MONEY.

I explained to them my father put my tuition $$ in my account every month at that time ....

Needless to say I talked my way out of it- but the bank knew I was a "hotshot" ...they didn't press any charges and away I went-

I told a friedn about it, he did it too- but he started a check kiting scheme and banked over $200,000 that he actually spent -

They caught him two mos later and he pleaded a no contest plea and made a deal to get out of Ohio for 7 years

He is now working as a manager of the Four Season's hotel in Beverly Hills....17 years later I walk in the hotel and he is behind the counter- Hadn't seen him in ALL that time....

Turns out he straightened his life out working at a property in the Virgin Islands for 5 years working his way to upper management.

He now works with every major celebrity in the world.
