Agree with Dan. If u was in the same situation, you would probably seek legal action if you find out that you 'accidentally' gave a fair amount of money to someone bank account...

Speed .. if someone leaves 10 million dollars in the street, does that mean it's yours for the taking? No. Same if they put it in your bank account by mistake. It does not make it yours. Not that the bank would miss it, ultimately their insurance will pay, which really means all of us with insurance will pay. And all of us that use banks (of course). The house never loses. But you can't have people stealing money willy-nilly and getting away with it. The system that has been carefully constructed for centuries, to keep the rich rich, would fall down and we'd have anarchy. On the other side... it's pretty stupid showing your face anywhere like civilisation (Hong Kong for example, who would probably extradite if asked) after stealing that sort of money from a bank, IMO. If you're gonna run from something like that, you got to lay low for at least the statute of limitations (8 years isn't it?) or own up PDQ and give the money back, hope for leniency.
