Multiple sources report the bank is furthermore looking into potentially thousands of cases and alerting the authorities. Part of this involves sharing the ATM surveillance videos of individuals who stole money.
In the weeks to come, additional stories and updates will likely emerge, especially once arrests begin. The criminality of the “Chase glitch” also continues to be widely discussed on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Reddit.
An open and shut case for the authorities
Any prosecutor who tries the “Chase glitch” participants in a court of law will have virtually all the evidence they need. Not only are these folks on ATM surveillance footage, but many have also self-incriminated, boasting online about their “free cash.”
