OK honestly I am not gonna keep it but... I was curious if I were to keep it, what would happen? i go in to deposit a check of $4,000 and the woman typed in $40,000 and now I have $40k in my bank account.

NEVER NEVER NEVER keep it--even though it is their error, they will discover it by end of business day or next day. YOU can be prosecuted if you take it out and try to spend it--it is NOT yours, not even the one day's interest you may have gotten. Immediately inform the bank and they will appreciate it. You may even get a small reward (such as a free calendar, GRIN)

This happened at my work. We made a direct deposit in someones account for 10K more than what it was supposed to be. They cashed it all out. We found out about it and they have to pay it all back with interest. He said he has spent it all and we have to take him to court.

If you're gonna be a thief, make sure you can retire from it. Just return the money and have a good nights sleep.

Usually banks find these types of errors fairly quickly and will send you a notice that it has been corrected.

you would owe the bank that money because they would find that mistake and charge you becuase you didn't say anything. better off telling them to get it fixed otherwise you will have major problems down the road.

You should report it to them. They have the legal right to recoup the money from you.
If you removed the money from your account, they would just try to collect from you, and possibly sue.

If you were to keep it, you'd have to pay it back. You might even face charges for knowingly keeping money that isn't yours.
