From the look of him, it could have been an honest mistake. He just started writing zeros and got distracted...

BRILLIANT!

Most surprising part of this story? We still got banks with drive-up windows.

Not quite as inspirational as Hepburn and O'toole in "How to Steal a Million". It's the Indiana version.

The Wendy's drive through takes my million dollar checks, no problem.

Now I know why my bank drive-up ATM has a Braille keypad. They were waiting for Prince Charming there to get blind drunk....

Yea ... I'd say that alcohol was involved. Maybe a few squirrels.

What Siouxie said.
And she obtained Johnson's driver's license and made a copy of it before Johnson left.
What a genius.
And *snork* at insomniac's Bob Geldof comment.
maimzini: we even have drive-up banks in Brooklyn.

The whole problem is that he wanted it in tens and twenties. If he would have taken hundred-thousands or half-millions it would have been OK.

If the guy he worked for actually gave him a blank check and told him to name his price, he's innocent of anything besides stupidly thinking he could get that kind of cash at a drive-through window. The account holder, on the other hand, may have committed fraud by not having sufficient funds to honor a contract, idiotic or not.
