A viral trend allowed people to get unlimited cash from ATMs because of a Chase Bank glitch. Or so they thought. Now they’re drowning in debt and facing serious prison time. Here’s the Chase Bank ATM glitch explained. The viral trend began with social media posts claiming that there was a glitch in Chase Bank’s system. This so called glitch allowed users to withdraw large sums of money from their accounts without actually having the funds. The glitch involved depositing fraudulent checks into Chase Bank’s ATMs and withdrawing the funds before the bank could verify the checks. This practice is akin to check kiting, a form of bank fraud that’s been around for over a century. However, the viral trend rebranded this old scam as a quote glitch, making it appear as a harmless exploit rather than a serious crime. Social media posts claim that the glitch allowed users to withdraw up to $50,000 or even $100,000 instantly. Some social media users posted photos and videos showing stacks of cash allegedly obtained through the glitch. However, most of these posts were likely fabricated, using doctored screenshots and stock photos to make the scam feel more believable. Yet people were quick to jump on this glitch. Chase Bank responded swiftly to the incident. A spokesperson for the bank stated, quote, we are aware of this incident and it has been addressed. Regardless of what you see online, depositing a fraudulent check and withdrawing the funds from your account is fraud. Plain. And simple. As a consequence, chase account holders who participated in this quote glitch trend are now dealing with massive negative balances as well as a 7 day hold on their accounts. Fuck man, they really told me to tap in next day. It was supposed to clear and look at my account. Yo bro, what the. These users now also face the prospect of serious legal action for committing a federal crime.
