    Good lord what did those people think was going to happen? The bank would just go, “Oops! Our fault! Have free money!”

    I’ve learned from that article that there are some really bad ways to take advantage of a system. I almost feel bad for the banks… Nah.

    I did this 20+ years ago after a bank stole my money with bogus overdraft fees and refused to reverse them. Rent was due. Wrote myself a check a withdrew my fucking money from the ATM. Never got in trouble but it was a few hundred not thousands like those idiots. Opened a new account elsewhere before check systems or whatever its called flagged me.
