MAN CHOOSES A 1-YEAR PRISON SENTENCE INSTEAD OF REPAYING $1 MILLION ACCIDENTALLY DEPOSITED INTO HIS ACCOUNT BY HIS BANK
Overview
This meme features a booking mugshot of a Black man in an orange prison uniform, standing against a standard police height chart backdrop. In the upper left corner, a graphic displays stacks of bundled US dollar bills. Overlaid text at the bottom of the image reads that the man selected a 1-year prison sentence rather than repaying $1 million that was accidentally deposited into his bank account. The implied joke, referenced in the original 9Gag title, is that the man already spent the majority of the deposited funds, so he considers a short prison term a better option than paying back the full amount of money.
