An Indian teacher got the shock of his life when he checked his bank account online and found 490bn rupees ($9.8bn).
Parijat Saha expected his balance to be $200 and could not believe his eyes - but a check at an ATM confirmed his billionaire status, on paper at least.
The honest Mr Saha rang the State Bank of India (SBI) to point out the error.
Red-faced bank officials would not comment, but sources say the funds were "uncleared" and he could not have withdrawn the money if he had tried.

Losers weepers, finders keepers. 
It's not his fault they made a mistake. I'm sure if the mistake was from the bank foreclosing on someone's house cause the customer's check was 1 cent short with the mortgage payment, they'd take their time to fix it. Like years.

Problem is in the fine print. They make the rules which most of us don't bother reading when we sign that form to start an account.kiki5711 wrote:Losers weepers, finders keepers.
