A big mistake cost him dearly Municipality of Abu, city of Japan A government official mistakenly transferred all the funds earmarked for the projects to a boy of only 24 recovery after Covid More than 46 million yen, equal to approximately 340 thousand euros. The boy, like all residents, would have been entitled to only a very small part of that money (about 700 euros).
Despite the myth of the meek and dutiful Japanese, 24 year old boy he did not warn the authorities, but chose to wrongly spend all the money received down to the last cent. Even more curious, the young Japanese man claims to have burned the entire figure in one online casino That money was earmarked for the improvement of public services and a series of support measures for residents in economic difficulties.
To summarize: a municipal official transferred by accident more than 300 thousand euros for an unsuspecting resident. The latter did not pay back the amount and did not even run off with the loot to live the good life. Instead, he chose to squander everything down to the last cent in the casinos by losing. An absurd story, which made no one rich. Apart from online casinos of course.
The mayor of Abe, Norihiko Hamada, explained to the press that the municipality noticed the mistake right away, but the boy would not have answered any of the calls. “Obviously he was busy spending money at the casino,” argued the young man’s lawyer – who clearly has no shortage of humor.
The 24-year-old explained that he is willing to pay back any money obtained illegally. “But it’s just a promise,” he explains, holding out his hands. “Physically I don’t have that money anymore.”
