The story of a man who spent 46.3 million yen Part 2: Ordinary daily life > 자유게시판

I wrote before about a case in Abu Town, Yamaguchi Prefecture, where 46.3 million yen was transferred to one resident, but in the end, about 90% of the amount was returned by the online casino company. It is unclear whether it was done by a lawyer or not, but it seems that all the money that was transferred was returned by all the companies. Well, as the mayor, the matter is close to being resolved, but what I am concerned about is whether the returned money is really okay? According to the news, only about 6 million yen remained in the online casino company's account, but the fact that the full amount was returned means that the company had to pay nearly 40 million yen. I do not know whether online casinos are legal or illegal, but according to this article, the town that made the mistaken transfer suffered almost no damage. If we consider that the young man who stole the money was actually receiving money that was not his own from the sky, then he was able to enjoy the online casino, and in the end, only the third-party online casino company is bearing the burden. The town collected the money it mistakenly transferred, saying that it had an obligation to return it, because it was not the correct amount. However, it was discovered that the money returned by the online casino company was actually paid out of its own pocket, and the town ended up just blaming it. It doesn't make sense. Well, I don't think it's 100% likely, but what would happen if the online casino company sued the town and said, "You threatened me and asked me to return the full amount, so I returned it, but in fact most of it had already been used. I want the money back because it was a mistaken transfer." It's a strange story, but from the company's perspective, they don't know the identity of the money that the person transferred, so wouldn't they be a so-called third party in good faith? If the town were to be obligated to return the money, how would it return it to the company? Somehow, this case has become so complicated that it's hard to understand.
