Couple spent Sh12.3 million after bank transfer mistake
Two people in the US have been charged with theft after spending thousands of dollars their bank mistakenly deposited into their account.
The Pennsylvanian couple, Robert and Tiffany Williams, received $120,000 (Sh12.3 million) in error and spent nearly all of it, according to an affidavit. The couple also faces over $100,000 (10. 2 million) in overdraft fees, having purchased an SUV and other goods, police say.
The affidavit says the couple admitted knowing the money was not theirs.
