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).
We would go insane.
"I thought somebody bought Europe with my credit card," he told the WMUR-TV station in his home town of Manchester.
"It was very concerning - it was a lot of money in the negative."
John said he panicked and drove back to the gas station, where the assistant was unable to help him get to the bottom of the extortionate fee - which was greater than the world's combined gross domestic product.
He says he spent two hours on the phone with Bank of America trying to sort out the string of numbers and the $13 overdraft charge.
The bank corrected the error the next day.
