If this had happened in Nigeria, some white ass worshippers would have told us how this will never happen in the west, how law abiding and honest the white man is, how they would have all waited patiently at home until the glitch is fixed before going to the bank.

Fake news !
1. All the money taken would be debited from people account and accounted for .
2. How much do they load into ATM at a time. It’s not that they are printing money at the same time and loading into the machine.

https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/bank-ireland-fixes-it-problem-that-sparked-flurry-withdrawals-2023-08-16/

Update from Reuters - those accounts will be credited today.

The bank will still find a way to extract the money from them

What they did is deciteful, and wrong.

Modified

I had something similar happen on the Carbon app on my phone. I got an extra 400000 naira that i did not ask for. I contacted Carbon via twitter, and they removed the unwanted money. At no point did I consider touching that money. Because I knows they would get the money back from me somehow...not because I be saint. grin

Premium tears for anyone that withdrew more than what they have in their account.
sometime like this happened before in Akure, I can’t remember the bank, they fish out all the accounts, that was involved.

If care is not taking, those that withdrew can have problems in their future.

These people are even civilized; at east they are on a queue whilst withdrawing the free money. cheesy cheesy cheesy

Imagine something like this happening in Lagos, that ATM would have become a crime scene due to the number of people that would have lost their lives there. People will kill themselves to withdraw, policemen too will kill people to collect their share of the loot. cheesy cheesy cheesy
Police were there maintaining orderliness, it was stated in the report. In Nigeria, police and other uniform men would abandon their responsibility and join the queues

Only lazy youths will think that is free money. ATM has actual hysical camera that records its activity. Software can not stop camera from recording and dispensing error at same time. Nigerians are not foolish enough to think camera won't capture their faces
