The accountant is probably screwed, even though they are pretty much at the mercy of the techies these days."Consorcio Industrial de Alimentos has filed a complaint against the worker, alleging he was misappropriating funds,"
Since the 'hard earned salary bonus' was placed into his account without any effort or planning on his part - is 'misappropriating' accurate ?
I wonder what the following paycheck of the company's accountant looked like after this event.
Can't claim innocence when a windfall arrives in your bank account and you don't return it. It's obviously a mistake and he should have paid it back, minus any fees associated with the transaction.Since the 'hard earned salary bonus' was placed into his account without any effort or planning on his part - is 'misappropriating' accurate ?
It would seem banks and institutions have a little more sway in the outcome than private citizens making an error: https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/ontario-...unt-left-for-weeks-without-solution-1.5693739Can't claim innocence when a windfall arrives in your bank account and you don't return it.

That is only an $80 overpayment. The administrative cost, paperwork , not to mention your time - I'm sure they would have appreciated if you just kept the money. (My theory when it spits out $100 bills instead of $10 bills)I’m too honest. I was given a hundred in a stack of twenties at the ATM once and I turned it in for the $20 it was suppose to give me. LOL.
There used to be a phone booth around High Park that spat out dimes when I hung up. Back in the seventies. I started using it regularly for the payout. Never felt guilty about sticking it to Ma Bell. But that's how I roll.I’m too honest. I was given a hundred in a stack of twenties at the ATM once and I turned it in for the $20 it was suppose to give me. LOL.
Nothing probably would have happened. And who knows. Maybe the teller kept the $80 but I don’t know ….. I just couldn’t steal it. Lame I know right?!?!? LOLThat is only an $80 overpayment.

Not lame at all. You have intrinsic morals. More people should take after you.Nothing probably would have happened. And who knows. Maybe the teller kept the $80 but I don’t know ….. I just couldn’t steal it. Lame I know right?!?!? LOL
Never call a bank and tell them they screwed up. They will never admit the error.Once, many many years ago, when I lived in California, the bank deposited $46,000 instead of $460.
Interestingly, the bank was quite annoyed, when I told them. At first they denied having made a mistake. I had expected they would thank me for telling them, but they were pretty rude.
this has happened to you?(My theory when it spits out $100 bills instead of $10 bills)
ATM's have cameras so every transaction is recorded, your face. It's best to be honest and return what does not belong to you.I’m too honest. I was given a hundred in a stack of twenties at the ATM once and I turned it in for the $20 it was suppose to give me. LOL.
