    RUN as fast as you can!!

    ok so lets get this right, the bank not only deposited the money, but when the withdrew it the bank did that for them too!

    and the people are in the wrong??

    come on westpac doube failure !!!!!
    first for depositing the money, and second for then allowing them to withdraw it !

    I hope they have the times of there lives and enjoy because lets face it, it was the banks error on two parts, so they get eh bonus, if you put millions in an account of someone wanting to borrow money them what do you expect them to do??

    human nature

    Enjoy

    Funny how, if the bank President of, say, Citigroup had taken a huge bonus that came out of US taxes that had been given to the bank to prevent the bank’s closure, that would be legal (ignoring the morals and ethics of it all, as politics usually does), but when a middle-class couple decides to take advantage of the bank making an error so huge that it’s mind-boggling, they’re criminals.

    There’s going to be a lot of poor folks cheering for Leo and Cara.
