Imagine waking up to an extra $141,991 in your bank account! That is what happened to an Auckland man after his bank mistakenly put it in his account.
Mehdi Soheili, a chef, decided to take $106,217 of it and spend it on gambling. It took 8 days before the bank caught up with the error and froze his bank account.
Soheili appeared in the Auckland District Court after admitting a charge of theft. Lawyer Shannon Withers suggested a custodial sentence and the debt would take 13 years to repay.
Judge David Wilson, QC, adjourned sentencing until November.
He spent the money in hopes of doubling up in gambling wins and profiting big time by the time the bank caught up with the error and removed the cash from his account.
That is what i call a huge gamble!
