That would be such an amazing shock, if only!

If the money was really there, when you could potentially put a large enough sum in your bank account to try and run - and then end up getting caught, get sent to prison, and look a **** on worldwide news. And if you weren't caught, you'd lose all contact with your old family and friends.

So technically yes, it is possible, but realistically in the end it wouldn't have gained you anything at all.

It hardly caused any inconvenience at all :p

Yeah but It could be an easy way to get some money out of the whole ordeal. + it shouldn't have happened in the first place so he could argue his case. ;l I would anyway l0l, see where it got me.

The art of selective reading is incredible, isn't it? Let's quote my WHOLE post that you just did a Daily Mail-esque quote from;

Simply wouldn't work, I'm afraid. I guess technically if PayPal had the money to give he could have then taken some out and bought something STRAIGHT away, otherwise the they would have just gotten it back (and they probably would get it off him if eh did buy something.

I immediately said "I guess technically ... did buy something" (I assume you understand what three dots inside the quotation marks mean :rolleyes:). You could try and take some money, and if you did get it (which I immediately said could technically happen for a very small percentage of it), you could try and spend it. But if you did that you would end up in prison, or your life as you know it would be over. SO, in terms of actually enjoying the money without any fear of being a wanted person, it "simply wouldn't work".

Now, next time you try and quote me, why not read it in context of the entire post ;)

I swear he never knew the money was in his account until he read the statement and by that time it was not in the account anyway. So he couldn't of taken it.
