$69,300 put into your bank account

I disagree, you may as well charge the guy with money laundering or extortion.
This is in no way a crime. It is the banks fault.

You were over at my house. You left your wallet. I found your wallet.

You had $1,900.00 in it. I took it and bought some stuff.

It was my house. Your mistake, your fault. And you want me to pay it back? What are you smoking? You gonna call the cops? You gonna sue?

So what if you can prove you left your money in my house. It's mine, you loose.

Honesty? Character? Integrity? It doesn't apply when you screw up, sorry...

And you'd have the balls to file charges against me? Sue me? Seek some other form of retribution? -- Who do you think you are? Wells Fargo?

I wrote my fiancee who banks at Wells Fargo a check for 650.00$.

She deposited it. 650.00$ went into her checking account.

2 weeks later, I was sorting a pile of my mail and saw an over-draft notice from my credit union.

I checked my account history and found that Wells Fargo ran that check against my account for 6,500.00$.

Wells Fargo had 6,000$ of mine and I doubt they were going to ever contact me about their %$&#-up.

My credit union cleared it up with Wells Fargo in about 6 hours after several of my calls to Wells Fargo went nowhere fast.

True story.

Did Wells Fargo 'spend' my money? Did they pool it in some way with all of their other funds and somehow gain interest on my 6,000$? I don't know, but I was told by my credit union that there was nothing I could do to Wells Fargo for borrowing my money for a couple weeks.

As long as the guy who got the Monopoly Chance card can pay the funds back, I don't think he should be charged with anything.

If he could have paid the $69K back when the bank found the mistake, he would not have been charged.

I hear that Wells Fargo wants to start an Assault Weapons Ban! It was in the World News Daily. Quick, Run!

Sheer willpower : )

Watch this... I read that this same bank will be installing seat belts and all of the customers will be required to wear them while transacting business. Really unprofessional cops will stop by every hour to issue tickets for those not wearing their seat belt. The bank manager will be making certain that no one CCWs inside the bank and if you try, the manager will ridicule you and tell you that your gun is poop.

I read it on the Huffington Post, so it must be true ; )

I call bullsh!t on that one. CRS (Colo Revised Statutes) says wearing a seatbelt while banking is a secondary offense. You must be doing something else wrong before you can be ticketed. Also carrying a concealed cheap weapon is a primary offense unless you overpaid for your CCW at Bunsmoke.

It's theft. Plain and simple whether you agree or not. Try it some time and see how it works out for ya because you believe differently.

18-4-401. Theft

Maybe you should look it up. Actually, a lot of you should look it up.

Why is this so difficult for you? Having the money being mistakenly deposited into his account is not a crime. Him spending the money is. It is the difference between trying on a ring, and walking out of the store with it on your finger.

This is not difficult for me...I just have a different opinion than you on this story.

[TRnCO]

I learned long ago to always take the high road because no matter the out come, the consequences are so much easier to deal with.
If I found a large amount of money had been mistakenly placed in my bank account, I'd be calling the bank at my earliest conveniance. I sure as hell would not spend a dime of it "just 'cause the bank has screwed someone at some point in the past".
