Pact 'brings Afghan bright spot'

So if he is receiving a charge for accepting stolen property then that must mean the bank is being charged with grand theft.

The first rules you should learn when you're commiting a crime, DON'T GET CAUGHT!

As an Otaku, I know this for years.

What about felony fraud for the bank..... customer makes a mistake it is a felony, bank makes a mistake and it is suppose to be forgiven..... I think not....

It amazes me how everyone seems to be blaming the bank. He knew he didn't put the money in there, therefore it is not his to spend. The guy should have gone to the bank with the mistake directly. Instead he counted on the slim chance that the mistake wouldn't be discovered and had himself a little spending spree.
Comments like maybe he was poor and didn't have enough for food are ignorant. I face that everyday and still I seem to know if things aren't yours you give them back.

He saw what wasn't his and took advantage of it. He's a liar and a cheat. Yes the bank made a mistake but he knew it wasn't his and an honest and honorable man would have gone to the bank to ask about the mistake. He deserves what he gets.

Once again, the French surrender.

And will be banned by the Obama health care program, cause it costs a buck,

They said he's charged with receiving stolen property , who'd the bank steal it from? In this day and age it's hard to look a gift horse in the mouth, come to think of it the politicians aren't doing any time for stealing tax payer's money , matter of fact they don't repay it either.

Well, if the money was in his account then it was his money. This man cannot be blamed and should not be charged with a crime because the bank made a mistake. It is the bank's fault that they gave him all that money to spend. They just cannot charge him with breaking laws that he did not break because they made a mistake.

GET A CLUE, STOP USING BANKS

receiving stolen property? lol so the bank stole the money and then gave it away to him. sounds like a typical bank.

i say it's their fault so at most this kid should get some community service.

The bank screwed up. you put your trust in a bank when you deposit your money into it. It is their responsibility to ensure it is correctly taken care of. When the bank makes a mistake it's ok for them to say sorry about that, our bad..and get away with it...with out any accountability for their error. But god forbid a customer makes an error and expect all the penalties they can think up hit you like a ton of bricks.... In this case the bank really messed up and deposited him a "gift" if you will. and he's going to jail? did he steal the money? no. It's no different than finding a wad of cash on the ground, some one made the mistake of dropping it or was careless with it like the bank was careless. If nobody was around would you take the money? I know I would.. but should I go to jail for the fortune of finding it? The bank made an error they should of realized that Mr X is missing a lot of money and contacted the person who had the deposit made and then correct the problem... but no they kept silent and once the person who had the money was discovered the hammer came down... so does the bank employee who screwed up still have is job? I'm gonna say yes...he should be the one acountable for his error. And banks should have insurance for their mistakes.... I know I have to have insurance to drive and for health..

I have had the bank put my tax check into somebody else's account before. The teller tried to say it was fraudulent because we get our taxes done in another county, we've been going to him for years, and so the tax place wasn't local. She had my husband and myself bring in our tax forms to verify everything. Then when we get there and she tries to point out her 'discovery' to managers and hints we are trying to pass a bad check, they ask if we are customers at that bank, yes for nearly ten years, and if she called the phone number on the check. Well no, she didn't think she should since it wasn't local. They called and sure enough it was validated. Then she goes to finally deposit it and doesn't ask for my account number. I assumed she already had it with the original deposit envelope since it was with the check. She just went by my name. Well when the money didn't show up the next day as it should have I started raising a fuss. They found it and quickly replaced it, saying they don't know how it happened. But when I viewed it on the website, it said on the copy of the deposit slip money put in wrong account. This guy did what a lot of crooked people would do. Thankfully I started checking on my deposit very early in the morning, right after it was supposed to have been posted, and contacted the 24 hour service before my local branch even opened so whoever got my money hadn't had a chance to spend it. The online help were the ones who found and returned my deposit. The person who made the deposit should have done the same, and the bank should have done a better job at owning up to their mistake.

he is cute....I would do him....and Im a guy !!!!!!!! hey yoooooooooooooo

Why post here, mine (minus curses or slurs) vanished!

The bank should get their head out od their 6th point of contact and simply garnish the mans income tax refunds until it is paid. Did the bank even offer him a chance to sit down and discuss some way of paying the money back? How much did he have left? After all, paychecks will keep him in food hopefully. However if his income is low enough, the government will pay the largest share of the debt owed with his low income credit, etc. Is that not strange?
Put him in jail and you lose everything and pay to feed/house him.Are they also going to arrest all his family members that he helped? Perhaps they could help him arrange to pay it back. They were in receipt of stolen funds as well. Ignorance is not an excuse in these cases. This bank is just being an idiot. I suspect it is one person trying to power cover his butt.

As if banks are not made up of people, regular wives, sons, husbands, daughters, granparents, and relatives. Idiots think a bank is some arbitrary entity that operates on its own. The man is a thief; he knows it, you know it, and I know it!

just tell me!!

ya cant fix stupid
