IRS Gives $110,000 To Wrong Guy, Now He's In Jail

A California father is in jail and faces charges after the IRS deposited $110,000 in his account that should have gone to another taxpayer, reports KCAL.

The money was supposed to go to an elderly woman, but she had provided incorrect bank account info to the IRS. When the seeming windfall hit his bank account, the man spent it on saving his house from foreclosure and paying off student loans.

that's what he gets for not questioning it. $110,000 doesn't just appear in your bank account from the money fairy. i don't think he deserves jail time but he should certainly have to pay it back.

IRS screws up and he goes to jail. He should have known it wasn't his money.
