banks can "choose to prosecute you" for an error that they made??? I find this a little hard to belive...u cannot be criminally prosecuted for being immoral, unfortunately...But I highly doubt if a bank fucks up ,and you choose not to mention said error you can be prosecuted...but im no lawyer.

Theoretically, in both cases it should be up to the bank and ATM machine owner to make sure things are working properly.

Some of the charges seem applicable: "breach of contract, fraud, conversion, unjust enrichment, civil conspiracy and racketeering" It's not as if he was playing and recognized the flaw. this was premeditated, evidenced by the woman and his growing history.

A similar edge sorting case was won by the casino btw.

It's a very interesting case that I don't find clear-cut at all
Your examples don't really apply since if you withdraw and keep money that the bank accidentally credits to your account you can and will get in some deep shit. Banks can choose to prosecute you if you don't pay up and you will probably get a fine on top of it.
