You sure you got your location right? That really sounds like a Georgia story.
FTFY.
Oh FFS, can someone please tell the BBS that modifying a quote counts for the ‘more than nine characters’ rule?

This couple’s mistake was probably falling victim to a good cop / bad cop routine. They admitted to spending funds they knew weren’t theirs (at least, that’s how the quote in the article reads), and so are liable to be charged with crimes. Whether all the charges stick is anyone’s guess, but it’s definitely brown trouser time.

Bank regularly deposits a paltry sub-1% interest into your account and nobody bats an eye. Bank deposits several thousand percent interest and suddenly everybody loses their minds.

No, as it obviously isn’t the same money that went into the bank. All there is an actual contract with the bank in which they promise do return to you the same amount of money you put in there.
It’s purely a matter of debits and rights, with clearly defined ways in which the actual sum can change.
120,000 Euros are a stack of merely 240 500 € notes. Having once held 100 50 € notes: That’s thick enough to mess up every wallt, but easily stored in a thick envelope, a small case, or something like that.
Something like that would work just fine:
obviously, physical currency has very little to do with how modern money is transacted. do you spend a lot of physical dollars? do you not own/earn/spend any money in any other form? do you imagine this couple withdrew and spent “paper money” for all those vehicles?
this is more than simply a violation of the terms of the contract, which that reductionist viewpoint would result it. the bank isn’t being charged with breaking the contract for returning too much money in violation of the agreement.

Possession, especially as in “possession is nine-tenths of the law” refers mainly to actual physical control/custody over a physical thing.
They did not have that except when they git cash, to which they were not entitled.
yes, you do.
the bank told them they had the money and gave them the money for spending. this couple didn’t take anything the bank didn’t tell them they were entitled to. if this was simply contractual law as you assert that would be the end of the story right there. remember, the bank is the entity that actually enabled and facilitated all these transactions.

The withdrawal needs to be untraceable, too, not just a stack of bills.
