The banker wins the bet only because the lawyer decides to leave five minutes early than the designated time.

Technically the banker wins the bet.

Explanation:

The banker and the lawyer bet on the lawyer's ability to stay in solitary confinement for 15 years. The day before the 15 year mark, the lawyer leaves his solitary confinement and forfeits the bet and the winnings. The banker would've been bankrupt had he been required to pay the lawyer and was going to kill the lawyer before he got out. However, since the lawyer realized that material goods were no use to him and he would rather work towards divine salvation, he did not want the money and thus saved his life.

Some might say that the lawyer actually comes out better than the banker in the long run. He is more at peace with himself and is better off now that he's been in solitary confinement. However, he did not technically win the bet.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
