    I'd rather be poor in New Zealand than rich in China.

    I dont know if I would run or not. Being in Canada and not knowing shady people I dont think that I would make it very far with that much money. If I had it in cash, small bills. I would load the car and drive.
    If I had the guts to even try it.

    Fair play, and they seem to have pulled it off for a moment.

    Parents got £2000 put into their bank by mistake, and the bank when nuts to get £2k back (and this was in the boom climate), so for that amount of money, the bank will go to extreme measures to get that money back, and I mean extreme.

    It'll ruin their lives... Just in the jail time alone... I would have returned it. A bank error of that magnitude is not a good favor. :D
