Comment on Chase Bank glitch releases thousands in cash over Labor Day weekendparent

Comments

Suppose Chase's system has a momentary outage. Which headline would you rather see?

1: Three idiots on tiktok steal petty cash from the ATM and go to prison

2: Millions of Chase customers' lives grind to a halt as they can't withdraw cash to buy groceries

Or are you arguing for option 3: Software is perfect and we just simply never have any outages, ever.

You have entirely detached yourself from the details of the story. These people deposited fake checks. Then withdrew against the fake balance. Stopping this outright is not going to stop people from buying groceries with real balance.
