If they were smart, (they aren't) they should have opened up a high interest account and let it accumulate interest until they are told to pay it back and give back the money Wouldn't actually make that much even if they got 2.5%, it would probably only be a few months, so maybe $300 a month.....might have gotten like 1k our of it that way. It's actually interesting though that the bank can just declare "hey that is our money, we made an error" and doesn't have to go to court etc to get it back. I guess it's obvious, kinda like being seen holding up a bank etc, but still.........I wonder if they can just "fix" an error like that legally. I mean, 1K is better than nothing... Yeah, that's what I would've done. Deposit the money in a long term (like 5 year) CD to rack up as much interest as I could, and open said CD at the same damn bank. Then when they demand the money back, I'd be like, "It's literally all still there, with your bank. You can collect the $100,000 principle once the CD matures, I'm keeping the interest accrued. Maybe don't fuck up next time?" :p <cite>streamofthesky posted [p:927301321] in Trailer Tr...
