Bank accidentally gives man $5 million

A man is being charged with larceny for withdrawing $2M from his bank account that the bank accidentally gave him.

The bank confused this man, Benjamin Lovell, with another Benjamin Lovell who works for a property management company.

The Benjamin Lovell being charged said he went to the bank and told them that he does not have a $5M account, but that they said it was his. So he did what any normal person would do and gave a way some of the withdrawn money (so sweet), spent some on gifts and blew most of it on bad investments.

Isn't that like everyone's dream situation, "oh no there is some extra monies in my account?" Note that you will have to pay for the bank's mistake with some court time.
