A man who was charged a staggering $23 quadrillion for a packet of cigarettes has fortunately managed to avoid paying the bill.
The New Hampshire resident bought a packet of cigarettes at a Mobil petrol station using his Visa credit card, but when he returned home he discovered he had been charged rather more than he expected.
Eventually he managed to clear up the matter with the issuing Bank of America, and was naturally relieved not to have to pay the bill.
Visa downplayed the blunder, described as an “inaccuracy”:
“A temporary programming error at Visa Debit Processing Services, caused some transactions to be inaccurately posted to a small number of Visa prepaid accounts.
The technical glitch, which impacted fewer than 13,000 Visa prepaid transactions, has been corrected and erroneous postings have been removed.
Importantly, this incident had no financial impact on Visa prepaid cardholders.
Visa regrets any inconvenience to our customers and has taken immediate steps to ensure this error doesn’t occur again.”

The US GDP is only $14 trillion, so by not making this man pay an opportunity to increase the US GDP by 16,200% has been lost; such are the wonders of national income accounting…

They corrected the mistake but what did they corrected it to? Did they still charge him for the cigarettes or deleted that large bill? :D..he might;ve gotten a free pack of cigs
Thats prepay for the future cancer treatment that says he will survive after.
Now thats funny
In Amerika, cigarettes raep u
In Amerika, cigarettes smoke you!
In Amerika, cigarettes puffs you.
Oh ya I remember seeing the link for a article on this on the channel when only I was on :P
Having worked directly under Visa this is a common problem.
The last thing we had were any transactions over £100,000 being duplicated 8 or more times :/
Someone help me how to read that number.
And would anyone think that's another Haruhi's "bored" moments? Aside from the programming fault.
Twenty-three quadrillion, one hundred forty-eight trillion, eight hundred fifty-five billion, three hundred eight million, one hundred eighty-four thousand, five hundred dollars
I think it's about 2000x the US national debt.
i would like to be credited for this false bill on my account
The USD is worthless anyway
worth more than dozens of other currencies
Are these on ebay yet
woah how do
you fuck up that badly
EPIC FAIL!!!!!
In some African countries, this is like some cents of dollars...
I demand a refund of at least 10% of the amount and the rest cleared lol
mmmh these cigarettes taste like a quadrillion bucks
How do you save the links to your account instead of just being able to favorite pictures?
omg!!! $23 quadrillion
What a pussy! He should have paid for those cigarettes like a REAL man!
Here is GOD, what I say it will turns out reality: If you smoke you will BURN IN HELL P-E-R-I-O-D !
my brain just exploded....
Could make it a good reason to never smoke or to start...lol...
Now you gotta wonder how that kind of glitch can occur??
GENTLEMEN.
Ginko was a good choice.
You could buy the whole world with that amount of money. 23 quadrillion, ha!
i would very much like to smoke one of these cigarettes
Great reason not to smoke >.>
Who the crap smokes anymore. Its fucking disgusting. And you literally have to try hard to start since i've always heard how much it hurts and is nasty for like the first week.
Half of my old school xP(and they are in age 13-16 yo. x.X).
the frirst week O.o just the first few times yh but you do fele more lightheaded when your a non smoker so thats a +, specaily at partys ect
smoking only hurst when your really dronk and burn your mouth >.>
You heard wrong, boy. Also, smoking is sexy.
this
Expensive cigarettes are expensive.
Delicious cigarettes are delicious
Delicious in a sense smell of burning tire is delicious
I know that cigarrettes can cause a heart attack, but this is a REAL cause of a heart attack ^^; Yikes!!
looks like someone has played katawa shoujo lol
rather die than paying this...
That's stupid, Prince.
So I'll have lung cancer AND pocket cancer? ._.
"I'm sorry, but the cancer has spread to your wallet. There's nothing we can do."
Visa was just hoping he wouldn't notice. What a lame get rich quick scheme.
Cigarette's price are a HNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG!!!
^ u said it, lolol, I'd straight out faint lol
Cigarettes are dangerous to your.. pockets
Maybe these were healthy cigarettes? Hence the price.
The tax on cigarettes has gotten ridiculous.
This
I was thinking that too.
also, wonder if the bank of america managed to get the interest for the few hours this money WAS owed them...
That's getting close to what cigs cost in Gullyvornya.
Just think of the credit score if he actually payed it off
Yeah, his Credit Score would be 1,000,000... ROFL
