Third-Largest US Bank Adds $81,000,000,000,000 To Customer's Account Balance in Massive Payment Error
The third-largest bank in the US accidentally credited trillions of dollars to a customer's balance in a massive payment error, according to a new report.
Bank error in your favor, collect several trillion dollars
Just a number in a database...
If the customer acted really fast he might have been able to yoink some of that out of there in the form of a wire to another bank.
Wouldn't work, banks would almost certainly flag and hold the transaction for possible fraud, and banks can also just reverse transactions like that (usually for a fee paid to the original receiving bank). Even serial numbers of bills can be marked as fraudulent so even withdrawing from an ATM wouldn't work.
Banks aren't on a blockchain, they have protocols and agreements to be able to fix mistakes like this.
Best shot is immediately contacting the bank, highlighting the error and hope they're nice enough to leave a little bit as a finder's fee.
How can we know for sure that it is an error ?
doge treasury dept intern: "whoops, that was supposed to go to the president's.. i mean, elon's, personal account. my bad."
You mean President Elon’s
Money is so fake lmao
It sure buys real things.
this is how we end up with sov cits.
Everything is fake. But if men with guns say it's real then treating it as such is a matter of survival.
Aren't sovcits like the polar opposite view and believe that the "system" is so real and literal that they can recite magic contract language to get free money and have laws no longer apply to them?
you'd think anything over a few million would be flagged for manual review. such a basic systems check.
you can have that money back, just lemme have the interest earned over those few hours.
But hey that still counts as $162 trillion added to the gdp
Any chance the customers name was 'Wesley Gibson'?
