I COULD have...
I used to work as a foreign exchange cashier for a private bank that only dealt with high net worth individuals, some of whom had Swiss-stylee 'numbered accounts' with no name attached.

Some of these individuals may or may not have been a bit dodgy. One of them used to pay in every single European currency (when they were seperate) along with US Dollars on a weekly basis, many thousands of each currency. He also never counted the money properly. Just sort of guesstimated it. If I hadn't been afraid of getting caught, and basically being an honest person, I could have skimmed off the excess from his paying in slips and had a whale of a time at his expense.

The first week I was there, while I was still being trained, I took USD 6,000 and what I thought was a client's account number to pay the money into his account at a US branch. The account number was wrong but I didn't know that til after he'd gone. As far as I know he never missed the money and it's still sat in a holding account waiting for him to come and collect it with the useless receipt I gave him...

Sorry, random American Gentleman.

Another client was a member of the aristocracy who was famed for liking a bit of the marching powder. He'd come in for his coke money. You knew when he was on a bender as his withdrawal slip looked like Michael J Fox had written it. Off his tits. But very polite.
