According to the link, the man was mistakenly sent the money, not that the man mistakenly sent the money to his bank account. That money is huge and the man should be blamed. He spent it so much on gambling which is another reason to blame him. All I think is that he may want to play smart, knowing authority will still come for the money, but just use it to fastly take a chance and use part of it to gamble continuously and losing it. That money is very huge for the man not to be blamed, he should be blamed.
I agree with you, I mean anyone that has enough experience with money has a rough idea of how much they earn and how much income they could get on their account at any given time, if you were to receive such a huge sum out of nowhere the first thing that needs to come to our mind is that some mistake was made and it will be eventually corrected, but instead that person went out of his way to gamble all of that money away, so he should be held responsible for what he did.

just as the title states, a man in Japan mistakenly sent 46.3m yen to his bank account which was supposed to be shared among 436 people in their town. the article says that the man gambled away the money by withdrawing 600k yen daily for two weeks and gambles it in online casinos and when the authority finally contacted him the money has already been gambled and gone. initially the man refuse to pay back the money that was mistakenly sent to him but after some time he decided to pay it back bit by bit. the town is also suing him for this incident.

now, I have a question, do you think the man is entirely at fault or someone should also be responsible?
I think if he gets money from the wrong send then it is his right to use it in any form, but if that person has a big heart and has a very high sense of humanity then he can return it to the sender's address, so don't blame people with It's easy because from our side, we won't necessarily return the money that was sent the wrong way. you can read the full story here

The man is a compulsive gambler and addicted to gambling, no man in his right mind will gamble away the money wrongly sent to him, a right-thinking man will ask where the money comes in and why they send the money, this is the kind of guy who will gamble any money that his hands will touch and will not regret it, he should be charged for not doing the right thing and he should take professional help because this addiction will eventually ruin his life.
Japanese people are known for their honesty but I think gambling addiction is an exception to that impression. That's definitely the man's mistake because if he's just been honest, he should have returned the funds to the rightful owners but greed took over his dignity. Instead of returning it, he risks it may be because of getting the chance to get more. He must pay accountable for what he did.

I don't think he did the money that should have been donated to someone else, instead he put it in a gamble, he should have known the risk of losing, because it wasn't his.I know very well the nature and character of Japanese people, their habits are quite careful and overthinking of actions or actions that lead to mistakes, In general, as far as I know, if they make a mistake, those who do it will be thoroughly and thoroughly examined, the one who made the mistake must be held accountable, if the wrongdoer runs away the authorities will look for him until he is found.
The fact, if it is true that what you say he is clearly wrong and must return the money and be responsible, there is no tolerance for wrongdoers now and in the future, My assessment is that the perpetrator no longer has an Ideology as a Japanese person, greed that destroys himself, by using covid money to bet.

He has fault to spending money that isn't for him.But the article is lacking information, is the man have authority to receive the fund? Because the way he spent it is something like a lottery that he won receiving on his bank account, only if he literally doesnt know he should receive it. If not, the authorities mistakenly sent it to him is at fault too and should be fires on his post.
When received a fund that technically appears not to belong to him he has the right to seek legal advice or return the fund to the sender just some people samaritan will do but he chooses to lavish it all.

I think the man who mistakenly received knew where it came from that's why he secretly withdraw bit by bit so that no one will notice it. He thought that authorities will not traced him and now he will pay for it. I think he still has the money and only lose part/have profit that's why his decision for returning it change when the community file a lawsuit against him. The guy is only 24yr old while he owes huge money which he can't repay if is just using his own money unless he still have the government money.
He should atleast not withdraw it and wait for a month or more if someone will trace before he start using if he really want to be safe by using it.

This kind of thing is part of the human error and he is the response with this kind of mistake also this is the reason why too hard to trust nowadays imagine make gamble all of that money for the people and family can help with that large amount this will get sanctions by this subjective decision of the gambler.

Maybe he do that action in purpose because if he is clean he will not touch that amount which he didn't own and maybe he just say that he gamble all of the money just to cover up some amount he hide it for his self. I don't know if there's a law break by him in this case but I think for the action he do, he will not go to jail for this because he just enjoy the money he think a blessing came from nowhere.

The mysterious gambler is clearly at fault there. That is some level of addiction that he didn't feel guilty for what he did. He did not think of consequences of what he will be doing, he just went to a casino and use the funds that was meant for Covid-19 relief. The town where he stole the funds did the right thing of not withdrawing the case even if he promised to return it. The family should also consult him to a psychologist or some rehab institution to cure his gambling addiction because if they don't, he might repeat what he did in the future.

I think this is clearly the banks fault and the person who sended the money by mistake to this person. Most of the people would take advantage of this and withdraw the money like this japanese person did. So the main problems are the banks here that didnt see this
Both are in fault here, the bank clearly didn't do their job as they send it to the wrong person. And then the other party who received it take advantage and play the money as if it is his. I don't think that most people who withdraw the money, I believed that there could be someone who know that the money is not theirs so he or she may not touch it. They might seek the bank first to check if it is end by mistakes.

That's right. Supposedly if the man realized that the money was a mistake, he would have immediately contacted the bank and returned everything. From there, the bank will surely reward him for his honesty by returning all the money, and maybe the man can change his life for the better. But everything has happened, and the man must return all the money, and hopefully, the police don't punish him for misappropriating money that doesn't belong to him.

The fault lies with the person who sent the money wrong, how can such a large fund for aid or charity get an error in sending the money. Because if they are right as an institution or whatever it is to raise money and give it to help or charity, then of course they can do better. Not sure they assign inexperienced people to send a lot of money so yes, still the fault lies in the negligence of the person sending the money. Because to send that much money would have to be supervised by several people if needed, at least to make sure everything was okay. Regardless of whether the money is used for gambling or for whatever reason, using the wrong money in the transfer, I think it depends on the personality of each individual, because not all individuals have high awareness to take the initiative to return or use it.
Exactly what I was saying. Those who sent the money to the wrong bank account are mainly at fault as to why this happened. The man just reacted according to his will, and I'm pretty sure that most of us here will also use the money for our personal interests rather than thinking of returning it to those who sent it. The man still deserves to go to jail though, but the one who enabled this to happen—the one who sent it to the wrong account—should also be held accountable, too.

The man surely is at fault as he knew he was not expecting that huge amount of sum for Covid 19 relief,it is his fault the main one as if he kept them in his bank account until the state found and contacted him nothing would have happened.Sure there is the person who sent the money wrongfully who is at error also but not at such level as this individual,this individual was having fun day by day by spending 600k Yen every day in the online casinos.It is only natural now that he should pay everything back to the state as I believe the state already gave the amount they needed to the 436 individuals that need this relief fund.

Well,yes the fault lies with the person who mistakenly transfer the money to the wrong bank account,but in every country there are law that regulates this kind of case.So it depend on how they will treat this case,it can be the gambling guy fault or both.
For me personally,the gambling guy is not thinking thoroughly here,what if the money come from a drug lord?Your life would be in danger.At least wait for some time to see if there are claim from someone about the mistaken transfer and if not you can deal with that money however you want.

1. How did a mistake in a banking transaction like this happened? This is where the investigation should start, coz sending out a huge amount does require a triple check and there's no room for a mistake .you can read the full story here

2. 2 weeks is quite a long time for that mistake to be noticed.
3. Of course gambling would be the safest reason why all of those money were gone, coz he bought a car from it, the authorities could easily take it from him.
Nevertheless, the sender and the man who spend that money for gambling is largely at fault here.
