Florida woman ...

A Florida woman is making national news after an apparent bank error in her favor. Julia Yonkowski went to the ATM at a local Chase Bank in Largo, Fla., on Saturday to withdraw some money, but decided to check her bank balance first. She planned to take $20 out, but she was shocked when the receipt showed she had nearly $1 billion in her account – $999,985,855.94.

“Oh my God, I was horrified. I know most people would think they won the lottery, but I was horrified,” she said. Yonkowski said that she still tried to withdraw $20, but the machine warned her it would cause an ‘overdraft fee’ so she opted not to touch her account.

Yonkowski said that she tried contacting Chase Bank multiple times over the weekend, but couldn’t get to a person through the bank’s automated system. She planned to visit the bank in person Monday to clear everything up.

A Pennsylvania couple was arrested in 2019 for spending $107,000 that was accidentally transferred into their BB&T bank account because of a teller error, and a Louisiana woman was arrested last year for refusing to return $1.2 million that was accidentally deposited into her bank account.

in a friends savings account a few decades ago, when bank savings account interest rates were in the 5% neighborhood.

After the bank realized there deposit mistake, they transferred back the original deposit sum, but following bank procedure regarding interest bearing accounts, left them with the $4000 interest accrued during the brief deposit time. The bank can do that anytime with me.
