    Bank error gives a guy a "bottomless ATM card", he withdraws $1.5 million, chunks it all off at 3 casinos

    http://beyondthebets.com/2012/06/15/...-at-3-casinos/

    What a dummy.

    If he really wanted to take advantage of the situation, he should have cashed out as much as possible and then left the country.

    I don't know. If he had no family or anything holding him here, then leaving the country would be an option. Still, he's only facing 15 months, he'll get out in 3, and he was probably thinking at least in the beginning, run it up and return the money and he would be fine, and he would have been considering he's only facing a small stretch even with having lost it all. After he was down big though, his plan should have been to start burying that fucker every day and then get lost at first sign the bank caught on. That, or lose big, but hide a half-million and insist you lost it all, and take the 15 months. I think a lot of people who only have a few hundred in the bank would take 15 months for 500k. It would be hard to prove he didn't lose it all if they could prove he lost $1 million. He could claim he was buying 10k per day in coke the whole time, giving it to other players for chips in the parking garage because he was afraid of the cashier, making sports bets while playing with other patrons and paid off huge losses.

    Those tallies in the article only account for around 930k, so hopefully he paid a good attorney and stashed some away.

    i dont think ive ever heard of a single bank error -> cash -> flight story working out for the person involved.

    there just arent many places to put the cash where its safe, and there are even fewer places to escape extradition.

    I'll take the Maldives, although with nowhere higher than 6 feet above sea level, it will probably not be around much longer. After that maybe Indonesia. The others not so much.

    Give me 100k right now, and I will do 15 months easy. I could easily turn that 100k into 1m.

    Hmmmm. I think I would do 1 year in a minimum security prison for 500k free and clear, as long as I had access to a good library.

    That is an interesting question... How long would you go to jail for if you were given 500k free and clear.

    Min security I would do a month maybe two for 500k. No chance a year

    You prob got that in the bank, much different for you. Obv -EV.

    For the regular folks that is life changing money.

    And I think a lot of you watch too much TV about prison. If you mind your business and don't run your fucking mouth you are fine. You all act like you won't survive and it is like Oz. Far from the truth, it aint the fucking movies.
