It's an infantile comparison that is wholly driven by your negative sentiment towards banks. It makes zero sense. Total bunk.I think a fair comparison would be you paying someone to hold your wallet, and that person gives the money in your wallet to someone else. I wouldn't be pissed if the person then spent the money, I'd be pissed at the person who was in charge of holding my wallet.
What's more, the couple themselves knew it was wrong, given the alacrity with which they spent the mistakenly deposited money.
The continued reliance of some posters on playground ethics, morality, and ownership is fascinating
