If somebody makes a glaring mistake and you realize it, that doesn't give you the right to exploit it. They never even attempted to report the problem. Even though the bank made the initial error, the couple seems 100% at fault and the fact that they tried to ghost after saying they'd set up a repayment plan makes it even worse. The repayment plan alone demonstrates an acknowledgment that what they did was wrong.

And the couple's hardship didn't result from the bank making a mistake -- which would be excusable to write off if they hadn't realized something was wrong -- but instead because they decided to exploit the mistake. While the bank shouldn't have put them in the position to commit a crime of opportunity, it's hard to feel bad for them because they chose to spend money they knew shouldn't have gone to them.
