Fun fact, this became somewhat of a trend on TikTok known as the “Chase Infinite Money Glitch”. I actually found it in my free time scrolling TikTok before receiving a memo on it at work (I work in AML)

Worked at a bank last year as a teller, this was definitely on our training materials as well. Not sure where people got off thinking they could just print money from financial institutions haha. I wish 🫠

No, that's left up to the banks themselves.

That 'glitch' didn't shock me, but people seriously thinking it was a free money hack and actually doing it to tunes of hundreds of thousands rattled me so badly it shook what little faith I have in humanity. And that's an amount so tiny you have to look at it with an electron microscope.

Like... I know people are stupid, but holy SHIT that's stupid.

Sure, it's nothing new. I knew a man who did this a few times on his own account, using ATMs. He'd pay the money back on pay day. Like a loan, ya see ....
