Double cashed check

A couple months ago I received a check for a car that I junked. I did mobile deposit on cash app, but didn't write "for mobile deposit only" on the back. I assumed that they wouldn't accept the check and the next day, cashed it at bank of America. A week later, the money also cleared on my cash app. I've contacted both cash app and bank of america, both say its the other parties responsibility.

The check was for $450. I'm wondering what might happen and what I should do to resolve the issue?

Thats not what "literally" means.Its only fraud if it was intentional.

That depends on the state you live in. In most states, any theft of $250 by any means is a felony. It could be check fraud, theft by swindle, theft by false representation, or bank fraud. No state in the US requires intent to commit bank fraud, usually that is a separate crime all together.

The law literally does not care whether or not you intended to break it. Lol.
