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.

So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
