NSW Bloke Who Squeezed Bank Error For $2M Reckons He’s Better Off Broke

Luke Brett Moore, the fella who took advantage of a bank error to withdraw $2.1 million from his bone-dry St George Bank account, has given an update on his current sitch: he actually reckons he’s having a way better time without those ill-gotten dollarydoos.
One week after miraculously being acquitted of fraud charges on appeal, Goulburn-based Moore gave The Courier Mail a lil’ bit of insight into his life. Ironically, he’s dead broke. He’s living with his mum. He’s driving a “shoebox Falcon instead of a Maserati. 

Still, he says he genuinely doesn’t miss much about his baller lifestyle, “besides the cocaine, the strippers, and fast cars.” As you do.


“I pull more chicks now with $20 in my pocket than I did when I was splashing the bank’s cash.

“With age comes wisdom and confidence and I’ve learned money doesn’t buy everything – but it was great while it lasted.”

While the 29-year-old admits dropping dosh on flash autos and signed Michael Jordan photographs was pretty wild, he also says he wouldn’t do it again. 

“I had to give everything back… but I’m happier this way as I’ve realised my family and friends are my biggest treasures.”

That ain’t all, though. Moore, who says he’s existing on two-minute noodles, is studying to become a criminal lawyer.  You have to admire the bloody cheek of it all, and Moore has recently expressed his sincere dismay at many elements of the justice system:
That’s a reasonably sweet note to end on. Here’s to your legal career, mate.
