About 3months ago a Westpac Bank staff employee here in NZ accidentally deposited millions into a customers account, the customers took the money and left the country as soon as they discovered the error haven't heard from them since and according to embarrassed family members they called them to say they wont be coming back to NZ - before this happened they were struggling to hold on to their petrol station business & the same bank turned down a loan a few days before.

If millions were accidentally put into your acc and your having financial difficulties would you do a runner knowing that if you reached Mexico or some Asian country you would be safe from prosecution I just reckon its quite funny thought this only happens in movies, stupid banks they rob ya blind with interest anyways.

This is not the first time westpac banks have made this error.

Westpac NZ makes new $3m account blunder

June 27, 2009
Westpac, which last month mistakenly set an overdraft facility at $NZ10 million ($A8.06 million) for a Rotorua businessman who is still on the run, has made another similar big-figure error.
Hamilton computer firm Elite Business Systems received a Westpac fax telling them $NZ4.3 million ($A3.47 million) had been transferred into its account on behalf of a client paying a bill.
Administration manager Graeme Richer couldn't believe his eyes because the sum owed was just $NZ43,000 ($A34,677.42).
"We were hopeful, almost had our tickets booked to fly out to Hong Kong," he told The Waikato Times.
The mistake, which Westpac spokesman Craig Dowling said was "a simple typing error", has been corrected.
Last month, Rotorua couple Leo Gao and Kara Hurring skipped the country for Hong Kong after Westpac set an overdraft at $NZ10 million ($A8.06 million) for Mr Gao, who had requested a $NZ100,000 ($A80,645) overdraft.
Westpac said most of the money has been recovered but $NZ3.8 million ($A3.06 million) is still outstanding.
Police are seeking the help of Chinese authorities to find the pair.
