I cannot understand what the article is saying about the $2 million mistake by Full Tilt in Lindgren's favor.

As far as I can tell from the article, Lindgren suggests he did not know what to do with the "extra" $2 million, and, since communications were so bad in general, and loans flowing so freely, he just assumed the extra $2 million was an additional loan. So, his view is he got a $4 million loan from somebody?

If I recall the Lederer interview correctly, they mistake was realized, Lederer called Lindgren relatively quickly to say the extra $2 million was a mistake. Lindgren said he had the money and would send it back and then disappeared.

It seems the journalist should have said to Lindgren that Lederer says he called you right away to say the extra $2 million was a mistake not a loan and that you agreed to return the mistaken wire but then disappeared. However, it seems the journalist never asked that (or if he/she did, never got a response or at least did not report it).

All this seems to have happened a large quantum of time before the guy ended up going bankrupt. I do not know about bankruptcy priorities, but it seems to me that correcting a mistake should be absolutely top of the line. Also, isn't taking advantage of a bank mistake like this a crime? With all the criminal charges flying all over the place, why no crime here? It seems to me we read about lots of poor schmucks who keep money from a bank error and end up in jail.

Am I missing something?
