A few days ago, Sam went to a bank to exchange small bills to larger ones. The bank made an error and he received two $1000 bills for $1,100, leading to a windfall of $900. Later in the day the bank realized its mistake and tried to recover the money.
Would you return the money? Would it be legal to keep the money? If the error was $900,000, would you still return it?
