The ATM Glitch That Made a Millionaire

I accidentally committed bank fraud in my teens lucky I was never caught

How did the bank not notice any of this? Can someone please explain

Boring

A Current Affair is and always has been a joke, as is most Aussie media. Not surprised they pulled some slimy stuff like that, and even less surprised they couldn’t spell warrant properly - “Warrent for arrest”? Classic ACA.

If he would've just bought crypto went to another country he'd be free

This has to be a joke
he takes out millions of dollars and they don't even care
someone does a small petty crime? 25 years in prison
also he could've invested the money and made tripple the money. If they asked him back, he would simply hand it over what was owed

Maaaaaan i would have got a couple hundred thousand out and ran to the Philippines and lived like a king with a regular job. I wouldn't have told nobody

This story shows that if the bank were to go after him they would have to open their books to the police and that wasn’t worth 1.6 million at all. Shows you how much the banks are really stealing from people to not care about that amount of money

When the bank is a bigger crook than Dan

I was an unexperienced stock trader and i lost over $30K when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I find one source to recover my money, at least $5k profits weekly. Thanks so much Mrs Brittany Utley

None of this money came out of bank customer accounts... That's not how banks work. Banks have insurance for this type of situation. Even if a bank is robbed its not like the bank branch has stacks of money with customers names on it and the robber runs away with it...oh its gone sorry customers. It doesn't work like that. Obviously the bank should have some culpability in this situation they should have been a bit more intelligent and using due diligence, considering they are supposedly financial experts. I wouldn't have been surprised if they would have just made it disappear just because of the embarrassment and maybe possible fear of they too maybe also blamed. Which is kinda what it seems they were doing. If Dan would have just let it go it would have just went away. But at least he can say he did the right thing, I don't know how many people would have went that far to call attention to their wrong doings.

if he bought Crypto he could have paid it all back and still had heaps

So instead of slowly taking that money and investing it, he spent it drinking and gambling. He could've been a millionaire for multiple generations, would've invested into realty under a made company not associated with myself. Would have employed myself and took all the dividends as income. Employ the boys and actually make a company.

He’s my hero

Dan dodged a bullet with the fiance. The first sign of trouble, she ends their four year relationship via text.

brb gonna go find an atm near me...

This video is 10000000% PROOF that NOBODY SHOULD BE GAMBLING!!! If he had spent all 1.6 Million on gambling, it would have been a guarantee that he only come out with no more than 100,000 in prize money. Those coming in with a few hundred or a couple thousand are expected to make way way way less. For those that don't know, there are top prizes in casinos (a couple million), these are not won in a single night. They are awarded over a 10 year period to thousands of players, not a single individual. You may see someone come out with a few million dollars, however, they go to jail because the only way to get that kind of money is to cheat the casino. So far, 100% of everyone that has won millions in casinos are in jail or have served due to cheating. There's the old saying, the casinos are allowed to steal from you, but you are not allowed to steal from a casino.

radically stimulated the economy... central bankers resent this type of thing with a passion.

This happens to all bank - stand by mode.

What a waste.

What a great story. Good job!

There was a similar case in Uruguay, where a guy went to a trip in Europe, spent some money with CC and when he returned, he was charged in pesos, instead of converted Euros (e.g. spent 2000 euros, and he got charged for 2000 pesos (1 euro = about 40 pesos currently), so he went multiple times and spent more and more and always got charged in pesos, until he was caught after the bank noticed millions missing.

Good for Dan 😂

What a good dude. At least he wasn't greedy. Like a drink robin hood lmao

@darkviperau

Awesome well put together video, 40 minutes of hard work.

Love this story. I used to visit Melbourne a tonne so next time I visit i'll think of Dan. I might go visit the ATM also.

Can't really understand why he was fired from the tavern

This is amazing he should be an Australian national treasure

Why is credit card side of the balance not showing up the the money credited to savings account?

I feel like Dan is what WSB would be like if it was a person.

Thank you Dan, you have proven that a man need a higher purpose an infinite money glitch is not enough but unforetunately Dan did not understand it was just a drop in the bucket of the money being wasted by the bank.

Damn, he plead guilty in a case that he could not have lost.

The funny thing is that the money they stole didn't actually exist... and neither does the money that the banks spend and loan.

How did he go to the island for two days if he had to visit the ATM every single night?

Good story.. and when Dan woke up did he have coffee?

Imagine if he would have just stashed the money away, and spent very little of it for a few years. He could've waited to see if he got caught, but would still have the money if forced to pay it back. Then after the statute of limitations, he could start a business with that money & then become 'legitimately' wealthy👍😅

I'm pretty sure a lot of people were using this magic money

Unless this video has severely exaggerated his spending, her clearly spent a lot more than 1.6 million. Just the transfers and withdrawals mentioned here add up to way more than that.

if you want to learn real magic ask Dan ❤😂

Well done Dan 👍👍

To be fair 1.6 million is almost nothing to a bank. Its easy to write that off. I just find this guy to be kind of an idiot at the end, but a legendary one for sure.

That was a pleasent watch

I had a simular thing happen with PayPal and my betting account could move over as much as I wanted but it bounced at the end of the month never had any correspondence from PayPal they just shut my account.

🤘🏼🫶🏼🆒📶📶📶📶📶🥂💫🎶🎶🎶🎵🎶

My heart was racing just imagining being Dan. I’d be terrified of getting caught every day! I couldn’t do this.

What an odd story. Not sure what to think of this guy. Did any of the other four get arrested?

My pal tool over 200k from the ATM mistake was never found out.
