When
University of Delaware senior, Devon Gluck, visited a campus PNC Bank
ATM to withdraw some cash, he noticed the machine was making strange
noises.
The
students that had been using the machine before him, seemed to have
been taking a long time with their transaction. So, the finance major
hesitated before inserting his debit card, and as he waited for a
minute, the ATM mistakenly dispensed 18-$100 bills.
Gluck
said, “My eyes just opened really wide, and I was like, ‘Oh my god,
this is $1,800 right here.’” After a few seconds of looking at the
money, the student grabbed the bills and decided he’d figure out what to
do with the cash later. Gluck discussed the situation with his best
friend and his father and finally decided to return the money four days
later.
The
student who hopes to go into banking and finance said, “I mean, it was
just eating at me at the time because it isn’t mine and I didn’t even
know what to do with it.” PNC spokeswoman Marcey Zwiebel said that while
she could not comment on the details of the incident, the money had
been mistakenly withdrawn from another student’s account and was
refunded.
Zweibel
said, ““Honesty is always the best policy when talking about money, and
keeping money that you’re not authorized to have for any amount of time
is unlawful.” Gluck was not reprimanded and the PNC bank branch manager
thanked the honest student for doing the right thing.
