Couple: We didn't notice $175,000 bank error
Cops arrest pair who allegedly bought home when cash appeared in account

BLOOMSBURG, Pa. - A Pennsylvania couple is behind bars after police say they failed to call the bank when a glitch put an extra $175,000 in their account.

Authorities say 50-year-old Randy Pratt and 36-year-old Melissa Pratt instead withdrew the money, quit their jobs and moved to Florida.

They were buying a house in the Orlando area when the mistake was traced.

The two were arraigned Tuesday on theft and other charges and jailed in lieu of $100,000 bail. A public defender was being assigned.

A $1,772.50 deposit showed up in their FNB Bank account last summer as $177,250.
Police say Melissa Pratt said her husband, a roofing installer, often got large checks and she wasn't aware of any error.

for dem to say that they didn't know it was a mistake is silly.  how come they never quit their jobs, move to florida and buy house any of the other times they receive large checks?

what I find it interesting is that you could be in contravention of the law for spending cash that the bank made available to you.  I guess that's what does be in the fine print of whatever you sign when you open the account.

i find that is garbage.
money in the account some people doh even check for years.
since when u responsible for checking deposits....anybody could deposit money into an account anonymously.

who does get jail when the bank deposit $177.25 instead and it never detected?

steupse

I wonder if they could sue since they make all decisions based on wrong information the bank give dem

The only way they could be legit is if they already had that kinda money in the account before they made the withdrawal.
