I would like to thank Suntrust for their generosity in this matter....

Oh dear.

Perhaps I should ask a Mr. Paul Fischer, who was a billionaire for exactly 5 hours…

long story short–you can find the long version of it here–Paul checked his account one day, and he had $88,888,888,888.88 billion dollars in his account.

$88,888,888,888.88 billion dollars

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Oh and it gets even more ridiculous…he had the nerve to ask the bank, if he could move the money to “an interest-bearing account until it was reclaimed and donate the interest to charity. Total interest: more than $7.3 million.”

Ha ha! They told him it was not possible…that’s pretty hilarious that he wanted to move around money to make interest on it…when it’s not even his….I know, I know, he wanted to donate it to charity…”The Mr. Paul Fischer foundation” no doubt…

Please excuse my cynicism but this is just so bizarre. Stories like these make you think….what mayhem would he have gotten into with all of that money?

What if he had quit his job (quite unreasonable) because he thought he made it big? Or went on some insane shopping spree??

What would you do with a billion dollars…for five hours???

Disclaimer: Probably nothing. Supposedly if you had spent even a dime, you would have had to pay it back/have the items repossessed! But at least you would have a great story to tell.
