I once had a older lady deposit over 100K into my account because she used bank's deposit slip and some how used my account number. I reported it to bank and they corrected it.
Apparently a bank made the mistake of depositing $31,000 into a teenager's account. The teen then went on a spending spree and spent $20,000 of it before the mistake was discovered.

This is what I'd expect any half-intelligent human being to do.
Or, transfer it to an interest-bearing account until they ask for it back. But pretending like it is your to keep is as stupid as one can me.
depends on your situation. if i were an illegal mexican, i'd take the money and go back and "disappear" to mexico. if i were sick and had no money, i'd use it (cancer treatments, etc.). if i were close to death due to old age or something, i'd take it and give it away in cash to a loved one and tell the bank i gambled it away and i am ready for prison OR that i am senile and didn't realize that it wasn't mine. i certainly would try my best not to give it back. did the banks in america give money back to taxpayers that helped their bailout? did they give you your fees when you make a mistake by overdrawing or anything else? i will answer that question, ultimately, with such questions. tit for tat sounds good to me.

The bank is talking about pressing charges on the teen, even though it was their mistake.
What I did when $20,000.00 was accidentally deposited into my account, I called the bank as soon as they opened in the morning and told them about it.
That teenager knew that money was not his and he in essence stole it even though it was the bank's error there is not a good enough excuse on this planet as to why that money was spent by the teenager whom it did not belong to.
Knowingly spending money that is not yours is theft, simple as that.
Many years ago, $7000 was deposited into my account. I told the bank and they did nothing. So, I told them again and again. Finally, after about a year they corrected their error. I knew the money wasn't mine, so I didn't spend it. I figured they would eventually fix the error and they did.
I had the same thing happen with a credit card. A credit showed up in my account. It was thousands, but I don't remember how much now. I told them there was an error and again the bank did nothing. That one took about a year to be fixed, as well.

I too would have called the bank.
It was a mistake on the bank's part but intentional on the thief's.
