Sure that's theft too but it wasn't my mistake so.

If I looked at my account and saw a 100k discrepancy, the first thing I would do is call the bank because obviously a mistake was made.

They knowingly spent money they didn't have. While I think jail is too much, they should definitely pay the money back.

Pretty much. If this were a discrepancy of a couple hundred, I'd be a lot more sympathetic to them, since that's a lot easier to not notice unless you're checking your statement every couple days, but this was $100,000 for a couple that had $1000. This is not a matter of not noticing it, it's a matter of noticing it and hoping nobody else would. They should absolutely be on the hook for that money.
