I recall a situation a number of years ago when a very large sum of money was mistakenly put into someone's account. They noticed it, went on a spending spree and ended up going to the pokey for a little holiday because of it.
Judgement being that it was clearly not their money regardless of the error by the bank and therefore had no right to spend it. The fact that they went on and spent it was tantamount to fraud (don't recall the exact official charge).
So spend at your own peril if you don't belive the money is yours legitemately.
