I found a glitch in the bank system in Canada and during this glitch you can transfer money from an empty checking account to your savings and the machine will do this transfer. What are the consequences of this if I took over 200.000$? Is this theft or fraud and what is the statute of limitations for that?



What if I took the money and left Canada. I've been abroad 8 years. Can I go back?

Its both and possibly embezzlement also.

Yes you can go back but why would you after doing something like that

In Canada there is no statute of limitations for this crime and There is also no statute of limitations against murder. You are not going to just clear your charge because you are going to go away and hide. You did the crime. You should get good legal advise and stand up like a man and face what you have done.
Paying back the money is a good idea, or at least what you can is a good start.
Besides good luck getting on a plane with a warrant like that. Not this day and age!!
Do not run you will dig yourself a deeper grave!!

Agree, it is several charges, and the sentence in prison will be a lot worst if the money is not returned. And most places (worth living) would just send you back under treaty agreements with Canada. And 200,000 is not enough to live on very long esp on the run.
