MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) - 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.

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.















What in the fuck could possibly take 2 hours to sort out, look you dumb motherfuckers I could buy every gas station in America and still not have that racked up on my card.

Wow! A Quadrillion-Dollar Credit Card Bill | NBC Dallas-Fort Worth

It happened to this guy too. Some kind of glitch with visa pre-paid cards

Haha!

Typical Visa. They don't make mistakes. Only other networks do.
