There was an arguement today about this topic. If 100million is mistakenly deposited into my account over 24hours and I manage to withdraw 50 million. What will happen when I get arrested?

It depends ,but in most cases once it is verified that it was a mistake,the bank will put ur account on debit which means any money that goes in will be used to offset the amount mistakenly sent.
Apart from that,I don't think there is any criminal charge against account holder . But the bank actions will hugely depend on the amount sent.

Withdraw 10M from that money. Place a bet of 2 odds.... Win 20M then return the 10M into the account and call the bank.

10M made under 24hrs.
And if you didn't win, you withdraw another 10m and place the bet again and again! Lol.

Highest na beg the bank go beg you to return whatever is remaining...
I know a case similar to this back in the days. it was 16million and the owner of the account (an alaba petty business man) was able make away with 12million. when he was apprehended he simply got a lawyer and they made a statement that the 12 million has been invested already in a business, the bank had no option than to beg the guy outside the courts and made him to sign an agreement that he will pay back the money in installments within a period of 15years .
and that was how my guy became a solid business man.
the truth is that the mistake started with the bank so the owner of the bank account can bring up a number of excuses as to why the money was withdrawn and that the money has already been spent ...the jail term if at all will be very minimal and if the owner of the account serves a jail term then the money is gone forever... so the bank prefers to negotiate on how to get their money back (especially for large sum of money).

**This is my opinion.**

For such large amount to be deposited into your account, it's either your account is being use for Fraud or the mistake comes from depositor or Cashier.

**My advice**

Wait for 2 days at least or 1 week at most. If this problem comes from bank, I don't see why they won't rectify it before 24 hours. If your account is still active or the money is still there after the given time please start making plan for big money.

** NOTE**:: If you decide to alert your nearest bank, this money might not get to the owner. If those at the bank are corrupt, they might make use of this cute money cool. My brother, you will still attend court if there is problem in future cool.

**My advice**

Move this money to another bank and fix it. The interest that comes with this should be yours. And when Casala burst, you can pay that crazy bank and keep your interest. Make sure you spend the money wisely and don't compete with Gee' boys in club..

***FINALLY**

please don't let this opportunity pass you by. This opportunity comes once in a while. Be ready to attend court for that 100million. That money worth any stress you will pass through


**SOME NAIRALANDER'S WILL CALL ME CRAZY GUY. YES NIGERIA MADE ME THIS WAY. IF YOU LET OPPORTUNITY PASS YOU BY, YOUR CHANCE OF MAKING IT IS VERY SMALL tongue tongue

Noone will call you crazy, but a thief.

You're not a child so stop blaming 'Nigeria' for your criminal bias.

There are too many stories of your fellow Nigerians that returned physical cash left mistakenly in the back of their cab by passengers to the owner. They are no less Nigerian than you. I myself have witnessed people return money and property they could easily have stolen and gotten away with, in that same Nigeria.

Time to take responsibility for your own choices buddy.

If anything it's a person's upbringing and personal ethos that will dictate what they do in this situation.

So, not even your religious belief would provoke you to make a more honest decision?

It would be a case that would call for a lot of question and theory as regards law.. But as a lawyer it can be argued with this saying that he who owns the land owns whatever is on it... So also is your account it would be wrong for them to keep money that is not yours in your account and u may hide under the defense that you thought it was a jack pot u won probably from the bank and it is not expected of you to seek permission before using the money in your account... Spend there money hide under some kinda defense and when they come charge them with trespass and also come up with the fact that it ur account and anything there is deemed to be urs... Then they would be on the defense looking for reasons why you should not spend money in an account that belongs to you....

Move which money to which bank? You think it is easy like that?

Let me kindly remind you that voluminous cash in excess of N10m and above made as deposit by an individual is usually notified to anti-graft agencies by the banks. When they notify them, the account is temporarily frozen and your profile would be investigated for previous transfers, tax payments etc. If they are not too sure of the origin of the cash, EFCC invites you for a chitchat in their office.

Go and withdraw money that is not yours on the excuse that whatever is in your account belongs to you... The Lord help you if the N100m is one of the tranches sent to numerous Bank accounts by one of those under EFCC's hot chase to conceal the origin of the illicit funds... You will spend more time at the EFCC's than you would living your own life. Those telling you to get a lawyer are not telling you that lawyers don't work for free and these cases can drag on for years...

It has happened to my cousin.
His wife was expecting about 1 million from UK, and things were hard that time. After some days , she saw an alert about of 1.2m . They withdraw the money and spent it on projects they were working on. 2 weeks later, got a call from her bank that there was a mistake of wrong deposit. Same surname, initials, but different middle name and account number.
She was confused. The bankers later fixed a date to visit. So they negotiated after more meetings to pay back in installments without additional charges or so because the bank acknowledged that it was their fault. So they gave her , I think 3 months, while documents were signed. That was union bank ,I think, though long time ago.
So it depends but if you refused, they may take serious action against you and end up in jail.
this is exactly how the bank will negotiate with you because they know and acknowlege their fault

Then they will refer you to terms and condition you signed, even your lawyer will seek a hiding spot

Coming from my experience of having N750k deposited in my account mistakenly @ FCMB , you will pay back every single kobo of it . The money stayed there for three weeks while I spent N170k out of it then realized the wrong payment . First of all they will withdraw the cash that’s left from not only your account but any other account you have with the bank like fixed deposits investment . You may have to lawyer up to buy yourself time to repay it back if you can’t payback immediately.
If not na police matter .
Either way you will pay it back .

U can only withdraw small amounts thru ATM n internet transfer, probably 6 million or less.

The bank will find u and tell u to come to the bank n return the money.

I don't know what the law says wen u refuse to show up.
