He probably attacked the screen and damaged the computer parts behind it.

I've never heard someone complaining about receiving too much money before

[QUOTE=1chains1;53008027]He probably attacked the screen and damaged the computer parts behind it.[/QUOTE] Incredibly unlikely unless he knocked it over which these things are designed to protect against, you can't break an atm with just your own two hands. Either the machine couldn't handle the environment or the electronics were not properly shielded and connected when he punched it. What the bank should have done is diagnosed the problem hit up to the manufacturer and ask for a few machines on the house rather than sue some bloke that might not even have $5000. Or they're double dipping but one can only know so much on the outside looking in.

[QUOTE=Liem;53008020]Just christ what kind of punches is this guy throwing[/QUOTE] The kind that only Florida Man can do. Though he's still out-tiered by Australia in general.

Should've thrown an alligator at it.

That's a situation that really makes you think. What would you do? Walk away and not take anything? Take a handful and run away? Call someone about it? Apparently this guy thought "It's clobbering time"

Poor ATM

[i]Florida man, florida man, Landing kicks at ATM [/i]

[QUOTE=ThatSwordGuy;53008029]I've never heard someone complaining about receiving too much money before[/QUOTE] That money is coming out of his account. It's possible that it was overdrawing his account or something

[QUOTE=Liem;53008020]Just christ what kind of punches is this guy throwing[/QUOTE] Cost of parts, cost of sending a guy out to fix it. Of course they'd also have to send out someone else to assess damage, also the cost of other people not being able to use it. Its really easy to inflate numbers like mad.

Maybe he's a super hackerman and panicked when he got way too much money, so in order to not blow his weal identity of hackerman he chose to act the fool and punch a screen, they'll never find out hackerman's true motive. Hackerman fools us all once again.

[QUOTE=ThatSwordGuy;53008029]I've never heard someone complaining about receiving too much money before[/QUOTE] I'd much rather have a ludicrous amount of money safe in my account than on my person, at any rate

"Trying to frame me for a crime? You bastard!"

Theyd just fix their ATM and pat you on the bavk and everyone would go back to not caring

at least now he has the money to pay for damages

-woah suddenly wrong thread-

Now he will have less money. He planned that all along.

$3000 of that $5000 is psychological damage done to the ATM.
