An honest Australian who woke up to find that $58 million had been mistakenly deposited into his bank account called the bank to report the error immediately, his nagging girlfriend claims.
The anonymous man’s girlfriend shared their bizarre story on Twitter on Monday, lamenting the fact that her boyfriend had told the bank about the new funds.
“My boyfriend woke up this morning with $58 million dollars in someone else’s money in his bank account and instead of taking the money and running away, he chose to call the bank and tell them the mistake,” she wrote. .
“We could now live somewhere on our own island. Sad.’
She added: “He’d like me to clarify that it’s not about $58 million in cash, but some $58 million worth of accounts that he now controls. And that makes it much harder to steal. He doesn’t want his reputation to be tarnished like bandidos.’

Many Twitter users were quick to add their two cents to the situation.
“It’s not sad, it’s nice that he has a good heart and chooses to share it with you. Money may make life easier, but it won’t make you happier, be glad you have a good partner in life,” added another.
One user joked that he would have searched for a list of countries with no extradition treaties with Australia.
Others thought the man should get something for his honesty.
“It would be reasonable to pay a small finder’s fee before being warned,” one man said.
‘Is there a finder’s fee? Surely a cheeky 1% to return it to its rightful owner?’ asked another.
Several users explained the dangers of taking money and running.

“Good (but heartbreaking) phone call. You could be charged in full for fraud for handling property that you should reasonably know belongs to someone else,” one man said.
Practically speaking, only a tax evader would know how to transfer the money immediately to one of his secure bank accounts abroad. You (and I) would have no hope of getting away with it. He also did well, by the way. Good on him,” another man added.
It’s not the first time a bank accidentally transferred money to an unsuspecting person’s bank account.
Earlier this year, Crypto.com accidentally deposited $10.5 million into a Melbourne woman’s account.
The woman and her boyfriend reportedly went on a bounce and bought a $1.35 million property in Craigieburn.
Crypto.com has an pending case against the women, and a judge in the Supreme Court of Victoria has ordered the property to be sold and the money returned.
