Retaining funds that you know do not belong to you is a legal violation.
The real challenge will be the burden of proof.
In Germany, for instance, this falls under § 812 BGB; it should be the same here in the US.

She filed the report.
We know exactly who got the money—full name and everything. They just refuse to pay it back. Now she’ll have to deal with them in court. I'm sure the money will eventually be returned. Basically, legally speaking, you can't just keep someone else's cash.

My sister-in-law works at an accounting firm and accidentally wired $10 $0.00 to the wrong account. They realized the mistake first thing the next morning and tried to fix it immediately, but the money had already been withdrawn. Now it's just gone.

It was through JPMorgan Chase. We have the receipt showing exactly who sent what to whom, all handled via online banking. I don't understand how a mistake like this can't be reversed.

Any advice on how to get the money back?
