Customer Says He Won $89B But Bank Won't Pay Up

[2pac Shakur]

When Paul Fischer checked his bank account Friday night, he had a happy surprise. His balance had exploded to $88,888,888,888.88. A very lucky number indeed, and close to $89 billion.

Of course, the balance was a technical error by SunTrust Bank (NYSE: STI - News), which quickly fixed the problem. It also may have occurred in other accounts.

"You say, 'Eighty-eight billion, what can I do with that?'" said Mr. Fischer, who owns a jewelry concessionaire for Florida theme parks. "Maybe a handful of us could have brought down SunTrust Bank."

Maybe the bailout went straight to his account?

How long would it take to set up an offshore account and wire some of the money there? I could probably live fairly well with just a few billion dollars.

That's enough money to fund several new Roman Polanski movies.
