Ironic Twist To $190k Bank Protest Story

Remember the guy that withdrew his $190k in savings (all in $20 bills)? Well, in less than a day his money ended up back at the bank. The guy deposited the cash with a "Building Society" but because they do their banking with his old bank, the money went straight back to the bank he withdrew it from. Thanks to Moogle Stiltzkin for the heads up.

In an ironic twist on Mapua artist Roger Griffiths' protest withdrawal of his $190,000 savings in $20 notes from Westpac yesterday, the money was today back with Westpac. Mr Griffiths deposited the cash at the Nelson Building Society in Richmond, but because NBS banks with Westpac, it has deposited the money there.
