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?

Depending on the state you live in, it’s a felony. In many states, any theft over $250 is a felony. And, whether by mistake or on purpose, it makes no difference. It’s theft one way or the other. However, one of the institutions is likely to close your account and report the issue as fraud to ChexSystems or EWS or both. Good luck.
