And it wasn't any of the first half dozen things that sprang to mind for me, he just spent it on drugs and hookers and fast things. Very boring.
... much more interesting is he proved in court he didn't do a fraud because the bank kept approving his money, he just... asked. Like, they'd tried to prosecute him for it, but, he hadn't done anything criminal, the bank had just been very foolish to allow it. But he had to go to prison and court to prove that. Now he's going to be a lawyer.
But the things that I would do if suddenly endless money involve a whole lot of people's GoFundMe etc and investing in ground floor flats for disabled people, in shared ownership with the housing associations so they can do the thinking. Like, the things I want to do, only more so for more people.
Also I might get a safe clean reliable car and somewhere to park it and a driver for said car. If I had endless money I could hire them for all the times even though I seldom leave the house. Like Happy.
I might buy a castle but I still haven't figured out what I'd do with one. Been thinking of it. Would need more people and an actual income stream somehow. Or I could get a stately home with a gigantic library, I keep going back to that dream. Fill it with academic books and then just... spend the rest of my life reading them.
I mean, why would he end up doing endless drugs if he wasn't already doing drugs? Why does suddenly money end up meaning drugs? It seems boring.
But if the bank gave me suddenly money I am pretty sure I'd go tell the bank it was being weird, and if it was in the form of a loan I would not imagine it as unlimited money, because loan.
So people are pretty baffling really.
conulyA bank glitch gave a 24-year old, down-on-his-luck Australian man access to unlimited funds. Then he did exactly what you think he did with it.
