Bank Puts $2 Million Dollars In Your Account - What Would You Do?
I just read a great article on Reuters about a guy in New York who went to the bank one day to find out he had over $5 million in his account. This is the same account that only had $800 dollars the day before. 
Turns out this guy Benjamin Lovell withdrew over $2 million dollars from this mistaken account. Turns out that there was another company with a trustee named Benjamin Lovell.
Benjamin, age 48, just pleaded guilty Tuesday and will be facing 25 years behind bars on grand larceny charges.
So I have to ask what would you do if you suddenly had access to $5 million? Caribbean? Some non extradition country? Canada? Or would you do the right thing.
Don’t worry I wont hold it against you.

I’d like to say I’d do the right thing but I’m afraid they’d never see my normally broke butt again

I’d invest the money in RIM stock..
Once it traded the next day and made a bundle..sell it..and keep the proceeds!
From reading the news story…this guy invested some of the money to make a quick buck…but made BAD investments (must have been Palm)…

Completely agree. He must have been really greedy to lose the money. I have been checking my account daily
