The teenager could of thought his parents gave it to him as an early/late birthday present. He shouldn't have to pay back.

He should NOT have too pay this back, i mean c'mon an immature 18 year old i think the majority would spend it. The bank should have to pay the bill not him maybe even have the bank sue'd due to there stupid mistake.

I don't know why the guy would have to repay all the money? Its The Banks fault for putting it into the wrong account

Seen it too, maybe should have contacted the bank but defo not his fault!

Banks Fault on this one but the kid should not have spent all of the money

It was not hes fault it was the banks fault he should prosecute them and take them to court

its the banks fault for putting the money carelessly in his account but he shouldn't have just spent the money instantaneously without being mindful about where it came from..

some form of compromise should be concluded although people aren't nice enough these days, lol.

IMO he should not pay anything back the bank should pay compensation to the guy whose money it was as well as give him more such errors should not be made in dealing with s of other peoples money

This has happened before. I'd report it to the bank hoping for a legitimate, earned reward.

In the UK there are laws prohibiting the spending of vast sums of money that are likely to have been accidently placed in your account... With the premise being that everyone makes mistakes, so you can't blow 30 grand and then just pin it on someone who accidentally placed the money there.
