>>There was a famous case in an America finacial institution several years ago, where an accountant (I think) was syphoning off all the wee fracion of cents rounding errors into his private bank account. He was becoming a millionaire. It was never detected (no-one missed them) but he later lost his nerve, realising the enormity of it all, and confessed.

>Sad story. What did he loose his nerve for? Money that never existed but was with him !!!

I guess he just got real windy at having all this dosh in the bank, and got paranoid that Uncle Sam would pounce on him the moment he tried to access it. Some people just can't live with their own "dishonesty"

Must admit, I would have lost sleep over it ... about 15 minutes! ha ha
