Maggie’s When dreams come true...

Ronald Page thought hit the jackpot when a glitchy ATM at a Detroit casino allowed him to make unlimited withdrawals, reports Detroit's Local 10 News.
With unlimited funds at his fingertips, police say Page went on a gambling bender, hitting up at least three casinos, including the MGM Grand and Motor City.

By the time his bank, Bank of America, figured out what was happening, he had reportedly withdrawn and gambled away $1.5 million.

Now that his luck has run out, Page has been convicted of theft of bank funds totaling $1.5 million and faces up to 15 months in prison, according to Local 10. He's due for sentencing on June 27.

Do not pass go, do not collect 1.5 million dollars , go directly to jail!!
The crazy part of the whole story is that he didn't have a dime of it left after losing it at the casinos

I'll do 15 months for 1.5 Million. As long I never have to pay it back.

One would think that if he had a good lawyer he could get off.

Not advocating what he did, nor do I know the entire story, but it would seem that the error was on the bank.

Would you still do the 15 mos. if your jail mate looked like Michael Clarke Duncan (guy from the Green Mile) and liked to call you "sweetcheeks"?

Assuming the 1.5 mil was tax free.................and you didn't have to pay it back.
