Error Results In R901 Quadrillion PayPal Statement For Small Town Man

Chris Reynolds is a PayPal customer. He uses the payments and money transfers Internet brand to buy and sell products on eBay, namely vintage car parts.

According to Mashable, the 56-year-old, from a small town called Media in Pensilvania got the biggest shock of his life on Friday when he received his monthly statement.

The amount was $92,233,720,368,547,800, that’s R 910,134,682,480,719,104, or better expressed as R901 quadrillion.

Reynolds said:

At first I thought that I owed quadrillions. It was quite a big surprise.

When he went to check the charges, he found that he neither earned nor owed the insane amount of money.

…the imaginary epic windfall left him feeling charitable. After opening the email, he donated $30 to the Democratic slate for Delaware County Council.
