The bank fucl<ed up.

If they told you that you had $1.5 million what would you do?

Obviously, I don't believe this guys story about blowing it all gambling -- but he doesn't deserve any jail time.

Jail should be a place for dangerous people and true crooks. Not for poor people with no prior record who get handed a $1.5 million opportunity by Skank of America.

15 months for 1.5 million is a pretty good deal. They say he also has to pay it back ? Now that is the funny part. I also dont believe he lost all of that gambling, or atleast i hope he got a few hookers too.

Yeah -- losing $1.5 million gambling isn't easy.

I suppose he could say that he wanted to turn that $1.5 million into $2.5 million -- and give them back their money and keep the profit for himself.

I would bury it in various places throughout remote corners of my parents properties and say 'Sorry fellas, I gambled it all away'

A nice looking young white man with a good lawyer and no criminal record would have got virtually no prison time.

You know this has happened before and they put the money into an account of someone who went off the grid, or bought a new identity, or left the country all together.

Not saying I would but...

Yeah but ANY prison time for you might prove to be "eye opening"...

"If his gambling addiction is not addressed, he is very likely to cause further financial hardship to himself and his family," the memorandum reads.

Holy sh!t that is funny.

Its The American Way

what i say they do, its change the regulation that if a glitch occurs
FDIC will cover it, and what ever happen to the money all well it doesn't matter, its a glitch and the glitch is insured.
and if they get part of the money back a reward should in place for which account got glitched.

Its A Win Win glitch.....

what i would do is call the bank-obviously it would be an error. now, if they said there's no error, all bets are off!!

Reminds me of the story of Joey Coyle. He grabbed $1.2 million that fell off an armored car, and then went on a spending spree. He was eventually acquitted of theft due to temporary insanity (and, they made a movie).
