‘Ronald’ says that when he observed that the electronic machine was counting money without him having done this operation, he tried to cancel the procedure but it was impossible
“I was trying to cancel the operation I was doing and it wouldn’t leave me until the process was over,” the young man confessed.
Immediately afterwards, ‘Ronald’ decides to withdraw the cash that the ATM threw at him but he never thought it was that amount of money.
After the operation, the cashier gave him the sum of 8 million 800 thousand pesos.
“In the first moment that the money came to me, I never imagined that it would happen to me, of so many cases that have been heard,” he said.
The young man from Barranquilla confesses that at no time did it cross his mind to keep that cash: “I never thought I would keep the money or anything, one does not keep what does not belong to one,” said the protagonist of this story, whose father is proud of the values he instilled in him since childhood.
His father, Darío Vázquez, was very happy with his son’s gesture:
«He remembered me, that I am a taxi driver. I have always returned wallets, watches, cell phones to clients that they have left in the car. One has to be honest, he went to talk to the manager of Davivienda and return that money that did not belong to him », he said in conversation with Atlantic in News.
His closest friends have also applauded his honesty.
“I did what I did because it came from my heart to do it. What is not mine is returned”, concluded Ronald.
In social networks, users have highlighted the values of this young man and set him as an example for new generations.
