I never understand things like this. Barclays is one of the biggest financial institutions in the world. It would likely have been way cheaper, easier, and faster to just give the man his money, and even throw a few thousand at the mistaken owner as a good will gesture. Instead, they are paying legal fees now, have bad karma from the story being published, and have angered both parties(or will when the money inevitably gets reversed).
