Susan Madakor
Susan Madakor's Chase banking account number, one digit off from that of a United Nations account, received what a judge ruled is Unjust enrichment,[1] donations from six countries "for a conservation project in Kenya.[2] The money came in 13 wire transfers.
The New York Times said Madakor "was hoping for a free lunch but got frozen assets instead .. could not spend the remainder." She claimed it was winnings from a lottery, had already bought a laundry business, and was trying to buy a liquor store.
Prior to the mistake, she was employed as a receptionist. She claimed to have charged $100 on a credit card for lottery tickets; the wire transfers began February 1998.[2] In September the bank "told her some of the transfers were questionable." More money came in during October.[3]
In November Chase told her that none of it was hers.
