What would you do if you receive a credit alert of $4,000,000,000,000 in your bank account?
Well a man in the US did receive this amount and decided to pay off the county’s debt.
Reggie Theus discovered he had become a trillionaire thanks to a bank error, he decided to make life easy for his fellow Americans, and offered to pay of the national debt.
Sadly for the country, the bank realised its mistake, and soon took away the East Texan's $4,000,000,000,000 - dashing the States' hope of an easy fix for their financial crisis.
Mr Theus, a restaurant manager, didn't throw caution to the wind and quit his job, thankfully - he still turned up and was busy waiting on tables and co-ordinating his staff.
He told KLTV: 'I was definitely surprised when I looked in my account and saw that much money in there.
'I looked it up and there's never been a trillionaire before.'
The bank, which asked their customer not to identify them, had made the error during an online banking update.
