Same as when a bank makes an error and gives someone money that isn't theirs. They don't arrest the person if that someone uses the money. They either take it back (if not already spent) or take they cut themselves.

Actually, there are some very strict laws in regards to just this happening.  If you spend this money, and don't give it back once they determine the error, you WILL be charged with theft, and likely have other criminal charges against you as well.

Even though it was completely the banks error, it is not, nor was ever, technically your money.



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
