Fights break out as Bank of America ATM in Texas keeps spitting out $100 bills

[TexasTowelie]

It was the kind of glitch that no one complains about.

For about two hours late Sunday night into Monday morning, an ATM near Houston was spitting out $100 bills instead of $20s to people who withdrew cash, according to KTRK.

The call went out over social media late Sunday night, that the Bank of America ATM near F.M. 1960 and Interstate 45 was giving away “free money,” KPRC reported.

For every $20 requested by the customer, a $100 bill was dispensed by the machine.

BoA should be able to trace all of that money back to the people that made withdrawals so I hope they aren't going on shopping sprees.

4. Not exactly.

'THEFT' requires INTENT.

the felonious taking and removing of personal property with intent to deprive the rightful owner of it.

5. Yes, failure to return property that you know doesn't

belong to you is taking. And sufficient mens rea.
