but unless you want to end up in a hole when that 500 bucks is removed from your account, keep it in the bank.
yea i'd go with this, i'm retracting my statement, as i cannot find any viable proof i'm right.. i looked but couldn't find anything about it, maybe it's just on a bank to bank basis? i once read this story (it was true) of how this guy once took one of those fake checks you gettin the mail once in awhile (they're usually like 50,000 or something, and say thismoney is yours and all you have to do is __________________) well, he took it to a bank, and as a joke, tried to cash it, i can't remember if it was through a machine, or if it was a tellers mistake, but he had it cashed, and walked off with the money. the bank found their error and asked him to return the money. after a long drawn out legal battle (he refused to give the money back on principal, he was planning on giving it back in the first place, then the bank did something he didn't like so he refused to give it back) long story short, he won and got to keep the money (it was in the 10 thousands if not the hundreds)
