Another roofer makes good

Bank Error Leads To Windfall, Then Jail BLOOMSBURG, Pa. (AP) ―

A Pennsylvania couple is behind bars after police say they failed to call the bank when a glitch put an extra $175,000 in their account.

Authorities say 50-year-old Randy Pratt and 36-year-old Melissa Pratt instead withdrew the money, quit their jobs and moved to Florida. They were buying a house in the Orlando area when the mistake was traced.

The two were arraigned Tuesday on theft and other charges and jailed in lieu of $100,000 bail. A public defender was being assigned.

A $1,772.50 deposit showed up in their FNB Bank account last summer as $177,250. Police say Melissa Pratt said ,her husband, a roofing installer often got large checks and she wasn't aware of any error.

They tried to grab too much at once. I hear that say if you only forgot to pay the IRS $35,000, and later pay it only to get a plumb gov job, they only consider it to be a 'slight oversight'.>>>

Yeah.....ain't that a trip........Chicago politics goes national......makes me fcuking puke.....>>>

And they say it doesn't mater who you are. The criminal justice system treats everybody the same. NO WAY!!>>>

You see the problem is that in this system, everyone is equal; however, some people are more "equal" than others.>>>

I don't know about these criminals that take money out of their own accounts. Now if they had stolen $50,000,000,000 they would be allowed to stay in their own home.>>>

crazy world !>>>

I'll bet that if the bank had made the error in the opposite direction and the couple had bounced a couple of checks, the bank would have still charged them a fee for the processing; even though it was their fault. I don't like banks either!>>>
