NH man charged 23 quadrillion dollars for smokes


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.

Any Idea what the gas station had to say about the error??

The article didn't say Ryle

The gas station clerk took the extra money to buy some the latest mod and a supply of e-liquid!!! LOL

I'd be interested in that one.. When I was 15ish I worked at Jack in the Box and someone charged some poor lady 2500 once by mistake. I LOL'd when I heard about that (the lady was standing right behind me too )

I learned how to count higher today. After 999 trillion comes a quadrillion. I didn't know of this until just now. Although, I surely would have learned this shortly as the US deficit continues to grow. <g>

The guy must have a heck of a limit if it was approved! I doubt I could get approved for more than 100 trillion!
