Banks employ excellent lawyers, and both the heads of banks and their top lawyers will have considered everything that could go wrong, and how to legally counter it.
This.
You're literally stupid if you think you can outsmart a bank.
I see people try to do it all the time with credit cards.
"Oh they give me cash back and no fees, so I just pay on time and I can OUTSMART THE BANK!"
Inveitably they always end up missing a payment and paying more than they earned through the scheme.
Banks aren't stupid and will never put themselves in a position to give out free money. Even with a software glitch, they will have accurate logs of every transaction and you're foolish if you think they will go "oh well the machine said he had more money so we will honour that". Banks are scum and NEVER give anything away for free.
