Paypal mistakenly added $92 quadrillion to a 56-year-old Pennsylvania man.
Last month, Chris Reynolds had $140 dollars in his PayPal account. Last Saturday when he checked his June account statement he found $92 quadrillion on his account.
PayPal apologized to Reynolds for the error and offered to make a donation to a nonprofit of his choice.
"This was obviously an error and we appreciate that Mr Reynolds understands this was the case," PayPal said in a statement to the BBC.
The 56-year-old public relations executive from Media, Pa., says he was shocked to see “a number with a lot of digits” when he opened his PayPal statement for June.
When Reynolds logged into his PayPal account to double-check the numbers, his account balance had been reduced to $0.
据英国《每日邮报》报道，美国宾夕法尼亚州一位名叫克里斯•雷诺兹的男子近日差点变成世界首富。上周五，他发现自己的PayPal在线支付账户出现了17位数的存款。
雷诺兹今年56岁，经常使用PayPal账户在eBay购物网站上买卖物品。他说刚收到对账单的时候吓了一跳，因为账户余额高达92,233,720,368,547,800美元，但登陆系统后发现这只是一场美丽的意外，17位数的存款已经没有了，他的账户余额为零。
虽然一切只是镜花水月，但雷诺兹还是狠狠地憧憬了一下富可敌国的生活。他表示，自己是一位负责任的公民，如果真有这么一笔钱，他一定会先替美国政府把国债还清。此外，他还想把费城人棒球队买下来。
PayPal公司发言人表示，为保护客户隐私，公司对此事不予置评。(中国网)
