So what are the legalities to being a 5hr. BILLIONAIRE The yahoo article says an ordinary guy saw he had 88.8 BILLION dollars in his account which the SunTrust bank fixed after he tried to move it into a different account.
It appears if you move or withdraw money that isn't yours, ( I assume) you have to give it back completely, but what if say...you buy a store or stocks and make the money back plus get a few extra million to keep for yourself. PLUASIBLE???

Then bought a one-way ticket to a non extradition country of my choice, possibly the People's Republic of China.

That happened to me before, but it was only 1 million.
My IRS refund was way overdue. Calling into the IRS they said they electronically deposited it. Calling my bank, they said they had no record of the deposit.
I was bouncing back and forth between the two, then my bank found the issue, they put it in an old account of mine, a trust fund that had my name but no SS# attached to it. I told them that I haven't used that old trust fund in many years. It was set up by my Mom when I was 12 or 14.
I advised them that she was dead now, so I hope that didn't cause issues. I also asked if they could transfer it to my checking account. They asked how much and I said all of it (assuming it was the $3K I was waiting for from the IRS). They replied that I would have to come in person to transfer that much. THey wouldnt give me the balance over the phone.
I was wondering what was going on, so I went in the following day and found that I had an account with a little over a $1,000,000 in it. I was thinking to myself "Dude, you hit the lotto!". I was wondering could I get in trouble if I use this money and its found not to be mine? Like a dumbass I start talking to the manager and found out it was for another person up north with the same name (and get this, mother with the same name). I knew I had cleared out my account when I was 17, because thats what I used to save up to buy my IROC.
So I was a millionaire for a few hours. It would have been nice to actually have owned that money. But the excitement was fun enough.

LOL damn.
Did you guys also see, some woman won 44 million on a penny slot machine, but the casino argues it was "a malfunction". It's true, because the max a penny slot can give is 40,000 or something but sucks nonetheless lol
