"has been charged with bank fraud, illegal transmission of monetary funds and theft greater than $25,000, the authorities said."
Schwab screwed up and sent the wrong amount of money and the owner of the account decided to keep the money. I understand that Schwab should get their money back but why is the women being charged with a crime? This is a civil matter not a criminal matter. From my personal experience, if I accidently send a company too much money, I usually have a really hard time getting my money back and I can't have charges filed against the company. Why does Schwab get to have charges filed against someone but I don't have that ability?
- apricot 5y agoSchwab has more money that you do, so they play by different rules.
- oyashirochama 5y agoNot really, the person who broke the law signed a contract that basically states that the money in the account has to have a set time before it can be pulled out, she ignored it and broke the contract which means she stole from them.

People take large companies to court every single day, sometimes without spending any or much money to do so. Small claims court exists for a reason. If Apple, Microsoft or BigTechCo wrong you, you can sue them in small claims up to a limit. I also don't buy your excusing of theft. If I leave a suitcase in a taxi accidentally with $100K in cash inside it, I'd rightly expect it to be a criminal action if the taxi driver took that money and bought a BMW with it.
