I once deposited business funds into an account other than the intended; I telephoned the bank immediately the error was realised, seeking assistance; what do I do to recover those mistakenly directed funds. The bank’s response? Nothing! The explanation? If a customer deposits or transfers funds to an unintended recipient, how can the bank be held accountable, after all, it could be a ruse! Advice received was that the only way such funds could be recovered was if the accidental recipient agrees (emphasis on 'if' and ‘agrees’) to return the accidently begotten funds. Fortunately, the accidental recipient agreed to return the funds, without obligation by law; purely as (an honest) gesture. Given this, how can the article in discussion occur? Easy; the ‘house’ always wins (I forget now, was I discussing a Bank or Casino!). Interesting how the rules for a bank differ so vastly than those for a customer – regardless of the brand.

Forty-five dollars was just enough for PATH fare, a needle, a soda, a pack of cigarettes, and four bags of heroin. It was going to be a great Saturday night! Motivated and focused, Skip worked through the truck like it was an Olympic event.' ^ good writing ‘It was cases of ham, heavy cases.
