The bank error occurred on May 31, when a client in Georgia made a deposit of $ 120,000 and the cashier of the BB&T Bank entered an incorrect account number. When the client contacted the bank to ask for the missing deposit, the investigators found that the funds had gone to the shared Williams account. When Tiffany Williams was contacted by the bank on June 21st, she stated that "she no longer had the funds because he had already paid his bills ", the complaint reads.

Part of the money was spent on paying bills and car repairs, and $ 15,000 was donated to a charity.
