According to Raw Story:
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.
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 man’s 48-year-old
colleague who was fired for letting the mistake slip through when verifying the
order took the case to court.
The court ruled that the
plaintiff should be reinstated in his job.
Damn, and ole boy got to
keep his job????? Must be nice.
