A Worker Got All His Coworkers’ Salaries by Mistake, and Refused to Return It?

A factory worker in Russia is being sued by his company . . . because he mistakenly received ALL his coworkers’ paychecks in HIS account.  That came out to about $87,000 . . . and he’s refusing to return it.

The company says there was a “software glitch,” and that he’s NOT entitled to that money.  The total was supposed to be paid out among 34 employees.

The man says he did “his own research” online, and found out that if it’s a “billing error,” he’s obligated to return it . . . but if it’s a “TECHNICAL error,” it’s his call to return it or not.  And naturally, THAT’S what he claims it was.

This happened a little while back . . . and in the first two rounds of cases, the courts have sided with the company.  But now, the man has appealed to Russia’s Supreme Court, and they’ve agreed to look at it.
