RE: Wachovia: $211 trillion

I've worked at banks in various positions and in one (it's easier than it seems), I accidentally over-posted someone's checking account with $51 million dollars from the previous nights FDIC account balancing (one digit caused the glitch). I had the bank president (yes the bank president) in my office in the morning asking... "Hey, you wouldn't have seen $51 million dollars lying around here anywhere, would you?" I nearly had a heart-attack, but his demeanor told me "don't worry about it - we'll find it," but he had to razz me about it. The operations department found it three days later (the head of that division still won't speak to me some 14 years later).
