PayPal reportedly made an error during one of its transactions and credited the account of a Philadelphia man with a whopping 92 quadrillion dollars.
According to Fox News, Chris Reynolds was shocked to see that his monthly statement email showed a credit of 92,233,720,368,547,800 dollars, but when he checked it online, it went back to zero.
Reynolds has been a PayPal customer for nearly ten years and used his account to buy and sell items such as vintage car parts on EBay.
He said that with the quadrillion dollars he would have paid the national debt and buy Phillies if he got the right price.
PayPal spokesperson did not comment on the matter but said that the company will check into the matter, the report added.
