easy2012 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/10/bank-employee-naps-transfers-millions_n_3417123.html An obviously tired German bank employee fell asleep on his keyboard and accidentally transformed a minor transfer into a 222 million euro ($293 million) order, a court heard Monday. The Hessen labour court heard that the man was supposed to transfer just 62.40 euros from a bank account belonging to a retiree, but instead "fell asleep for an instant, while pushing onto the number 2 key on the keyboard" -- making it a huge 222,222,222.22 euro order. Not much verification was required at all to move that sort of money... Our financial system...banks... 2013 not 1963... heem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah-so Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I read the story. His supervisor missed it but it was identified by someone else before the payment was made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
