Just Credit My Account

A 47 year old man walked into a bank in Stockholm, Sweden and not only ordered the teller to fill the bag with cash, but he also demanded that she credit his bank account with 350 million krona (about $ 45,710,318.80 in U.S. dollars.) So that she could do it promptly, he gave her his bank account number on a piece of paper.

Police had no trouble finding him.
