MANCHESTER, N.H. – A New Hampshire man says he swiped his debit card at a gas station to buy a pack of cigarettes and was charged over 23 quadrillion dollars. Josh Muszynski checked his account online a few hours later and saw the 17-digit number — a stunning $23,148,855,308,184,500 (twenty-three quadrillion, one hundred forty-eight trillion, eight hundred fifty-five billion, three hundred eight million, one hundred eighty-four thousand, five hundred dollars).

Muszynski says he spent two hours on the phone with Bank of America trying to sort out the string of numbers and the $15 overdraft fee.

The bank corrected the error the next day.

Bank of America tells WMUR-TV only the card issuer, Visa, could answer questions. Visa, in turn, referred questions to the bank.

Yeah, when they get that expensive, I think I'll lay them down.

I'm kind of amazed at how many levels that statement works on...

So all we need to do is get Bill Gates smoking and we could solve the nation deficit?

Pretty sure if my bank did that, I'd owe them several trillion in overdraft fees.

Well, $15 is an unfeasible amount to pay for your monthly WoW subscription... so why is it laughable that this guy wanted his fee to be remunerated? .
