And you don't think that's a sophistry? Let's be honest he knew full well the bank, if actually asked, would not have approved his borrowing, any reasonable person would.
He took advantage of a mistake made by an automated system from the bank, there was no human going "gee the guy with no income wants another $1000 to add to his massive overdraft, sure why not".
- scotty79 10y agoI can understand that many people don't give that much thought to money, banks, how they work, what they do and what they don't do. People go to bank to get a house. Then just make transfers for the amounts that bank tells them. I can see how a guy could just overdraw his account and wait for the bank to tell him to pay some of it back. Maybe he thougt that when the bank will request some money back he can always sell cars or celebriy memorabilia and make the ends meet. He didn't cocieve a plan to buy a helicopter or luxury yaht. He was just living little bit above his means for a while. Fraud is a bit strong name when you are just doing someting noone forbid you to do.
- raesene6 10y agoSorry but that's not what I read in that article, to quote "I went to strip clubs and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on girls, alcohol, cocaine and whatever else." that's not the actions of someone who just overdrew his account a bit, or is a bit bad with money.
- scotty79 10y agoIf you have money available and feel down that's imaginable thing to do. Even if that money doesn't come from savings. For me that doesn't look like a obvious part of some fraudulent masterplan concieved months earlier.
