Bank Error Gives Woman $1.13 billion

Cornelia Johansson got a pleasant surprise when she went online to pay some bills. She found an extra $1.13 billion in her bank account. "The balance was more than 10 billion kronor. It said the amount had been deposited as a correction for a credit card purchase," Ms Johansson's boyfriend Daniel Hoeglund said. A press spokeswoman for the bank, explained the mystery money as "a technical mistake made by a company."

To begin with 1 days interest of x % isn't x/365.

But more importantly 0.51% isn't 0.51.

Well done.

This is just stimulus money

What this fails to mention is that this woman is single-handily responsible for the economic downturn and so the USA has given her a portion of the stimulus to help spark the global economy. Cornelia Johansson's credit card purchases amount to 83% of the Sweedish economy so to strengthen US-Sweedish relations President Obama included Johansson's refund as a part of the recent stimulus bill.
