Man Finds $88 Billion In Account
Posted by Media Outrage on April 2nd, 2010
A man checked his account one night and was surprised to find more than $88 billion in it. Peep game…
Via Yahoo:
When Paul Fischer checked his bank account Friday night, he had a happy surprise. His balance had exploded to $88,888,888,888.88. A very lucky number indeed, and close to $89 billion.
Of course, the balance was a technical error by SunTrust Bank (NYSE: STI – News), which quickly fixed the problem. It also may have occurred in other accounts.
“You say, ‘Eighty-eight billion, what can I do with that?’” said Mr. Fischer, who owns a jewelry concessionaire for Florida theme parks. “Maybe a handful of us could have brought down SunTrust Bank.”
Mr. Fischer had other ideas as well. Before the problem was fixed, he asked a SunTrust rep if he could move the money to an interest-bearing account until it was reclaimed and donate the interest to charity. Total interest: more than $7.3 million.
The bank said no.
The money was stripped out of his account by Saturday morning.
“It’s all gone. I’m poor again,” he said. “I was a billionaire for five hours.”
This kind of bank error happens frequently. But Mr. Fischer raises an interesting question: What if, for five hours, you truly did have $89 billion?
What would you do with the money? The ground rules are that you would have to give the money back — and whatever you bought or invested with it — after five hours.
Mediaoutrage- We would have been secretely withdrawing like a muthaph*cka!

It’s all good and dandy thinking about money and all you will do with it, remember, WHATEVER YOU SPEND YOU WILL HAVE TO RETURN, so while today you’re a billionaire and your head is all ‘giddy’, tomorrow you will be in a BILLION DOLLAR DEBT, choice is yours.
If you decide to run and be a fugitive- How far can you run with a BILLION dollar?

ok, i’ll give you that one! Someone who is actually thinking
But he did say ““Maybe a handful of us could have brought down SunTrust Bank.”, so it sounds like 88 Billion ISN’T enough to acquire bank, he would need more people (‘handful’)

THAT’S GOOD THINKING BUT THE PURCHASE OF A BANK COULD NOT BE PULLED OFF IN FIVE HOURS,BUT A LOTTTTTTTTTTTTTT OF ONLINE STOCK BUYING AND SELLING COULD HAVE BEEN DONE WITHOUT LEAVING YOUR HOUSE,AND WITH OUT GOING TO THE BANK TO AROUSE SUSPENION.

MY THOUGHT WHEN I SAW THE STORY ON CNN WAS WISHING I COULD HAVE PLAYED THE STOCK MARKET FOR FOUR OUT OF THE FIVE HOURS THAT THE MONEY WAS IN MY ACCOUNT.SITTING INFRONT OF MY COMPUTER FROM 9 TO 1 BUYING LOW SELLING AS HIGH AS POSSIBLE.AN ONCE THE BANK REALIZED IT’S ERROR AND WITHDREW THE INITIAL MONEY I WOULD HAVE MADE A PROFIT OFF OF THE MONEY IN THAT SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND THEY COULD NOT HAVE TAKEN THE PROFIT I EARNED OFF OF THEIR MONEY.

YOU CAN SPLURGE,SPLURGE,SPLURGE AND IT STILL WILL GO ALONG WAY. BUT TRYING TO GET IT OUT OF THE BANK,AND THEN OUT OF THE COUNTRY WOULD BE THE PROBLEM,THE AVERAGE PERSON DON’T THINK ABOUT THAT KIND OF MONEY OR EVEN MILLIONS SO THEY WOULDN”T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT IMMEDIATELY. BUT A PERSON WORKING FOR AND WANTING FINANCIAL FREEDOM IS ALREADY READING MONEY MAGAZINES,FORBES,WALL STREET,STUDYING THE STOCK AS MUCH AS THEY CAN SO IF SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPEN OR THEY WIN THE LOTTERY WAS TO HAPPEN WE KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT.THAT’S WHY I SAID WITHIN THAT FOUR HOURS I WOULD HAVE MADE A PROFIT SOME HOW SOME WAY. AND A FEW YEARS AGO I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT LIKE YOU BUT AFTER PEEPING GAME I’M ON A DIFFERENT PAGE.I’VE REWROTE MY MONEY BLUE PRINT,THERE’S A BOOK CALLED “THE SECRET MIND OF MILLIONAIRES”.I SUGGEST EVERYBODY READ IT ESPECIALLY USES AND YES I SAID USES. PEACE

I would have shopped all day taking everybody in my house, my boyfriends house, my neighbors house, the folks in the unemployment line, the welfare folks and the homeless folks on the streets. When they ask me for the money back, I would have fainted in front of them and pretended to have a nervous breakdown unable to talk about it………

LMBO @ MO on the “secret withdrawals” comment. As good and tempting as it sounds, some of you are right, realistically, you have to give it back.

NO I’M NOT SAYING SECRET WITHDRAWALS I’M SAYING WITHIN THAT FIVE HOUR SPAN AND HAVING ACCESS TO THAT KIND OF MONEY IN YOUR ACCOUNT,YOU CAN BUY 100,000/200,000 SHARES OF STOCK THROUGH AN ONLINE TRADING ACCOUNT WITH YOUR BANK CARD ,AND WITHIN AN HOUR OR TWO SALE THE STOCK AND GET THE PROFIT,IF YOU ARE THAT TYPE OF STOCK PLAYER OR KNOW SOMEONE WHO YOU COULD IMMEDIATELY PUT YOUR HANDS ON WHO KNOW’S THE STOCK MARKET INWHICH THE AVERAGE AFRICAN AMERICAN DON’T AND I SAID THE AVERAGE. THE BANK ERROR WAS FOR $1,000,000.00,AN THEY WOULD NEVER KNOW YOU USED THEIR MONEY THAT QUICK AN MADE A PROFIT AND NOW YOU HAVE $1,450,000.00 IN YOUR ACCOUNT WITH A PAPER TRAIL OF WHERE $450,000. CAME FROM AH “EDWARD JONES, CHARLES SHWAB,OR E-COMMERCE.THAT’S WHAT I WAS SAYING HE HAD FIVE HOURS TO FLIP SOME REAL CASH QUICK WITH OUT THE BANK KNOWING.”POOR PEOPLE THINK JUST SPEND THE MONEY,RICH PEOPLE THINK INVEST THE MONEY TO MAKE MORE MONEY BEFORE I SPEND”.
