Teen spends $25,000 after accidently
(website misspelling, not mine)
getting $31,000 put into account
Okay, I know teenagers don't always think things out...however...
HULL, Ga. — A Georgia teenager got a nice surprise in his bank account earlier this month — to the tune of $31,000. The teen then started wildly spending the money, but after discovering the mistake, the bank wants its money back, the Athens Banner-Herald reported.
This is sooo cool, the teenager must have thought, the bank made a huge mistake and put $31,000 in my account, they will never know the difference, and even if they find out...hey...it's THEIR fault...besides...I'm a teen, so I can get away with ANYTHING!
No matter what teen-boy says, we all know that this was what he was REALLY thinking! (If this can be called thinking!)
The error happened March 7 when a man went to make a $31,000 deposit at First Citizens Bank in Hull. But with several people by the same name with accounts at the bank, the teller put the money into the wrong account.
"Hello, pardner! Want to deposit some greenbacks?"
Mr. Smith - "Yes. I want this $31,000 deposited in my account."
Bank Teller - "Righteeooo, Mr. Smith!"
Mr. Smith - "My bank account number is 21..."
Bank Teller - "Oh, no need for that, buddy-ole-pal (pinches Mr. Smith's nose) we knows ya!"
Mr. Smith walks away a little confused, and the bank teller begins to deposit the 31 K.
Bank Teller - ♫ Oh, doopy, doopy, doopy, dippy, doopy doooo!♪♪
"Now, let's see...Smith..Smith..Smith...gee willikers...there's a ship load of Smiths listed here, but I know it was one of these Bob Smith dudes!"
" I needs to do this science-intiffically...okay...eeny meeny miney moe...which Bob Smith will get the dough?"
So our beloved teen-boy won the unpredictable, illogical, lottery of life, and had the 31 "large" dumped into his account, that probably amounted to about 19 dollars.
Ten days later, the man who made the deposit inquired about the missing money from his account, and that’s when the error was discovered, sheriff’s deputies said.
But not before the 18-year-old man who was the beneficiary of the money had taken out $20,000 in cash and spent another $5,000 on an ATM card.
( What a bright boy, hmmmm?)
The teen tried to get more money on March 18 but was told of the mistake and to return the money, but he claimed the money came from an inheritance.
The bank - "Who died?"
Teen-boy - "Well, no one I can think of, off hand...but I appreciate your concern!"
After being confronted by a sheriff’s deputy and told to return the money, the man said he would go to the bank and settle matters, but he has yet to do so. Bank officials say they will prosecute if the man does not return the money.
Teen-boy will NEVER repay the money, maybe a compassionate (dumb) group will start a fundraiser for this victimized teenager, he will do video that goes viral (if that has not already happened), or his parents will suffer all the nasty consequences this brat deserves!
What do you think, gang?
