You're talking shit!
If you notice the mistake and spend the money then the law says it is theft and you can be prosecuted.
If you unwittingly spend money credited by mistake you have a case, but it would be hard to convince someone you unwittingly spent 60k!!!

this is very true,but they will probably offer you the interest on the amount,which cant be too bad i spose,just dont spend it for gods sake,they usually do prosecute as the man said,just dont tell them about the mistake too soon remember the longer it take for them to sort it,the more intrest you will have
