Banker Sleeps On Keyboard, Accidentally Transfers Millions by flexgee: 10:02am On Jun 11, 2013 |
An obviously tired German bank employee fell asleep on his keyboard and accidentally transformed a minor transfer into a 222 million euro ($293 million) order, a court heard Monday. The Hessen labour court heard that the man was supposed to transfer just 62.40 euros from a bank account belonging to a retiree, but instead "fell asleep for an instant, while pushing onto the number 2 key on the keyboard" -- making it a huge 222,222,222.22 euro order. The bank discovered the mistake shortly afterwards and corrected the error. The case was taken to court by the man's 48-year-old colleague who was fired for letting the mistake slip through when verifying the order. The court ruled that the plaintiff should be reinstated in his job. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/10/bank-employee-naps-transfers-millions_n_3417123.html http://www.kevindjakpor..com/2013/06/bank-employee-sleeps-on-computer.html 1 Like 1 Share
