Finders isn’t keepers — even if the money is in your bank account.
At least according to authorities in Nebraska.
George Costa is charged with felony theft after investigators say he spent $80,000 deposited in his bank account by mistake.
According to the Nebraska State Patrol, more than $106,000 was credited to Costa’s account by a Pinnacle Bank employee who mixed up account numbers.
His lawyer says Costa is willing to work out a repayment plan but shouldn’t be charged with a crime.
It would bug me to no end if I did that.
No I wouldn’t because it always comes back to haunt you. I may let it sit there awhile but I wouldn’t spend it. The banking industries most always find their errors. Especially such a large amount.

Stumble it!
I was always told if the teller makes the error it is the teller’s falt. The teller should pay. I do not know how many times I have had to prove teller errors, but in the end I did, and the teller paid. I have a friend who has tried to point out a mistake to the teller,only to have the teller say “we don’t make mistakes”, she she kept the extra cash!!!!! It was the bank’s falt, why are they charging this man?? That is just BS! Make the teller pay!
