This guy is a moron.

Knowingly depositing a fake check is a criminal act, whether they cash it or not.

A $95,000 richer moron....Are you sure it's a criminal act, if the bank fails to do it's job?

In the United States, when a bank receives notice that a cheque paid into your account has bounced, it has 24 hours to notify you and, if it fails to do this, you are safe to spend the money.

I notice that you provide no link for that quote and that 'check' is misspelled in the British fashion.

I think in the future you should get your legal advise from that big-mouthed drunk guy down at the pub.

LOL! What a fucking idiot. Looks like they have no idea what money is in EU. The sad fuck does not have a bank account.

ROFLMAO. Seriously. You should try to defraud or rob a bank or your shitty gooberment. Maybe the guards won't do their job either and you will get richer.

Yep, if a bank makes an error and deposits money in your account if you try to spend it you will be arrested. I have no idea about Euro banking but I find it difficult to believe that it is not the same there.

I promise you this is not true. At the very least he will be required to pay the money back. The fact that he KNOWINGLY deposited a fake check (and posted online about it) makes him subject to criminal charges.

Nah. It's a fake. If you want to rip people off you need to own a bank. that way it's all legal and you get billions from the taxpayer.

OK, I read the article and there are still some things that don't add up. I KNOW I have read many times about people getting put in jail for doing this same thing. I have also sold things on craigslist in the past so I read up on the scams. The cashier check scams get you by bouncing a week or two later, even if you have the banker "verify" the believed validity of the check. That does not make sense to me in the internet age, but hey, the bankers own the politicians.

Exactly... expect liefrog to call you names, according to him, banksters are innocent, the problem is government regulations, so he thinks that more deregulation is therefore needed! :? Truth is, the banking cartel and our so called "decisions makers" are the same people...

To be fair one of the critical aspects of deregulation is dramatically limiting the governments interference in banking and thus minimizing the governments ability to be pick winners and losers with the tax payers money. If the pols can't pick the winners and losers than the bankers have no need to bribe them.

Actually I'd agree with him. If deregulation also meant that they were to never have access to taxpayers money. If deregulation also meant that if they were to harm our country in any way, that they were punished in line with the damage that they did. (which in the case of Britain they did more damage to our economy than a major war. Which was treasonable and should be punished as such.) And of course that the bankers, shareholders and executives, would be liable from their own assets for any money taken from the taxpayers purse. But of course that will never happen. We've got privatised profits but nationalised losses. As far from capitalism as communism ever was.

What if we required all people who buy stocks to hold on to them for at least 90 days? If you want to gamble, go to Vegas. Stocks should be for long-term portfolios.
