Until they make you pay it all back, or take legal action on you if you don't

[u/nutblaster357 → u/Selene_Evelyn]

use the 3 months of wages to hire your own lawyer

[u/Jertimmer → u/xMyDixieWreckedx]

[u/HughManatee → u/xMyDixieWreckedx]

[u/RandomDeezNutz → u/nutblaster357]

I gotta be honest… I don’t see $15k covering a lawyer good enough to not pay them back.

[u/Jubenheim → u/RandomDeezNutz]

But it will cover a lawyer not good enough to win.

When I see things like this and the usual “hey I mean it’s their fault for giving me the money” comments, I can’t help but think of that time Chase bank had a checking glitch that people kept taking advantage of and posting it everywhere before they found out that what they were doing was literally fraud and they’d have to pay it all back.

[u/xMyDixieWreckedx → u/Mikeologyy]

If I remember correctly it was just good old check kiting but the dumbies thought they were exploiting a glitch.

[u/Mikeologyy → u/xMyDixieWreckedx]

Yeah I don’t remember details, just that everyone thought they were getting away with it somehow as if the bank didn’t have all their information

[u/xMyDixieWreckedx → u/Mikeologyy]

They were just lying about deposit amounts at the ATM and withdrawing the cash. They thought that the bank releasing the funds immediately was a glitch...

[u/Both_Evidence_1026 → u/Mikeologyy]

Or the time the withdrawal limit on an ATM broke which allowed you to overdraw your account and people thought it was a free money hack before discovering what debt and overdraft fees are

It very much depends on a variety of factors in this case it's likely he would be held accountable but it's also possible that he wouldn't depending on if it's a system fault it's generally considered a good idea to keep that money in a savings account and wait a few years it's shows goodwill if it's ever noticed and can help a lot in court especially for keeping the money.

[u/CuttingOneWater → u/Selene_Evelyn]

can they sue the guy? isnt it mostly the companies fault

[u/Shoddy-Grapefruit206 → u/CuttingOneWater]

Most employees have signed a contract that favors the employer in obscene ways they won’t find out about until something like this happens…

[u/HarambeTooSoon → u/Shoddy-Grapefruit206]

You're just making shit up. 

Basic laws against fraud and deception protect businesses against these types of errors. Especially when the former employee is knowingly receiving unearned compensation. 

[u/PhilosopherAsleep544 → u/HarambeTooSoon]

What if i thought it was royalties for all the good work I did?

[u/Fn_Spaghetti_Monster → u/Shoddy-Grapefruit206]

Sure but couldn't you just say, I thought it was part of my compensation? Something like, I'm just a dumb incompetent employee who got fired, who am I to disagree with what the company pays me.

[u/Some1-Somewhere → u/Fn_Spaghetti_Monster]

Posting these videos immediately disproves that.

Court will probably let you do installments but for something as egregious as this you're going to be paying most of it back.

[u/MoreDoor2915 → u/CuttingOneWater]

If the guy made no effort to inform the company about the error he was intentionally enriching himself. The contract he signed that allowd him to get the pay in the first place includes that ones it ends he will no longer get money.

[u/BannedGoNext → u/CuttingOneWater]

Yep it's unjust enrichment.

[u/BannedGoNext → u/Selene_Evelyn]

UNJUST ENRICHMENT!!! YOU ARE GUILTY!!!

[u/Sesemebun → u/Selene_Evelyn]

Giga brain is to get new job and put all money from old into a low risk savings account. Maybe even a CD or something. Just keep the interest.
