    Banks make mistakes and this is generally how it works. Most people will not give 1M back. Statues make it fair.

      That is most certainly not how it works. If a bank accidentally gives you a million dollars it’s best to inform them and give it back in whatever process they determine. They will not just write it off. They will figure it out eventually.
