My Aunt worked for a Bank in NYC and the Money machine in the lobby went nuts and was giving out way too much money . Most returned it but a few took it and when notified argued that it was a gift and they didn't steal it. Evidently the law and I paraphrase it says once you're notified it's not your money by the Institution you must give it back or be held responsible.
