ATM malfunction. Nothing to do with IRS

The chances of you finding a way to keep / use at least SOME of it have to be higher than the chances of this mistake happening to you in the first place...
The chances of you not having to pay any of that back is zero.

Withdraw all cash. Put property in cousin's name. Head to a non extradition country and wait and see.
This seams like a decent option, but where are you going to withdraw millions without a flag being raised?

What happens with the interest though?

Do you think their bank WON'T notice eventually?
Banks have transaction monitoring software that would catch something like this pretty quickly.

And then transfer it all to my savings account
Collect interest until it’s time to pay it back

When they do take this back they should break him off 100k for their mistake.

A few posters have alluded to it, but what WOULD be the gameplan in a situation like this?
Unless you don’t mind prison or living on the lam, the game plan is to tell the bank to fix it.
Lol at the people thinking they can just ghost with millions of dollars that the bank erroneously put in your account.

If you invest say a million in the market just for a few days you could make some money off their screw up.

Conspiracy Hats [ON] OFF
The deposit amount was correct, but it just went to the wrong person. Someone was supposed to receive that deposit, but the question is who?

NEW CHICAGO, Ind. (WGN via CNN) — The first federal stimulus payments are on their way to Americans, and a northwest Indiana man got quite the shock when he went to the ATM this past weekend.
Charles Calvin is a volunteer firefighter in New Chicago, Indiana, and unbeknownst to him, he received his first stimulus payment from the federal government on Friday. However, it wasn’t the amount he was expecting.
“I went to the ATM at the Family Express, and once I withdrew $200 out of my account, I looked at the available balance still left in my account,” he said.
He said his account had $8.2 million in it. He was only supposed to receive $1,700.
Damn that Nigerian Prince actually came through for this guy... good for him...

Well I guess he got mine.

Smart. Now you can have a cellmate now that you've added the charge of conspiracy to each basic charge.

Yeah, spend away and when the audit discovers the mistake you can spend the rest of your life with no assets or cash. There is no statute of limitations on tax debt

This has happened before and when they find out you must give back all the cash
What about the accrued interest?
Even if you hold onto $8.2M for just a week, you could accrue a couple grand in interest right?
