In the UK if you knowingly keep money that has been mistakenly credited to your account it is counted as theft. You could claim that you never check your statements and be allowed to be let off (you would still have to repay) however you have openly broadcast it to a public forum and probably (a guess) spoken to others about it. If you claim innocence and then it is shown later that you lied you would be in deep doodoo.
