£19k from nowhere

I've deposited thousands before and not been questioned about it, the banks only do what they are legally required to do and nothing extra, money laundering means more money for them.

Most banks take money laundering quite seriously due to the prison sentences for staff if they do nothing. While the bank may well like the extra cash most of the staff would prefer not to do five years to make them a bit of extra profit...

I dont get why people are saying: "tell the bank, tell the bank, quick, omgz, im a good boy!". Do you honestly think youll get into trouble for someones elses mistake? I would have just left it there until someone said something. I totally agree not to move it or spend it etc. (for 7 years ;)) as you could get into trouble for that. But nothing can happen to you if you dont touch it as its not your fault and youre not held responsible for going out your way to rectify someone elses problem. Banks couldnt give the slightest about your good will gesture of reporting it either. IMO anyway.

And if they take it they take the interest and if they dont it would have been legitimately yours, so you've sat on it for nothing. It makes no sense to do what you suggest.
And yes even by sitting on it you could get done, you have to take reasonable action to get it sorted out.
 
Where are you in Swansea, I'll be glad to meet up to prove this theory.

It's been a while now and no screenshot / pics :o
 
I'd tell them, current interest rates are so low that it's not worth waiting for them to get in touch as you'll make about 5p! If you leave it for a while you'll get tempted to do something with it and then when they realise the mistake you will be in a real pickle.
