Iceblade02,

Iirc there was some danish bank IT guy who stole every unit of currency smaller than 10^-4 in his banks transactions. Pretty neat until he got caught

How the fuck did he do that, and how did they find that?

Iceblade02,

It’s a story I heard from my dad a few years ago, tried looking it up now, but… well this is the best I found:

jol,

Floating point error. You owed 0.0000004 but with interest now you owe 500. It’s our fault but you still have to pay.

If that’s Bitcoin I’m gonna be rich

HopFlop,

If that’s Bitcoin then this would actually give you, at the current exchange rate of BTC to USD:

0.000000000002557444% USD. If you got that card once every milliscond, you would need 31 years to have 2.5$.

I doubt you’d be rich with one card except lol.

I prefer the 32 bit signed integer underflow in my favor.

Rentlar,

You have to have debt like Donald Trump to be able to hit that.

Bene7rddso,

Or choose the right currency

Grepfruit,

I must’ve put a decimal point in the wrong place or something. Shit, I always do that. I always mess up some mundane detail.

some_guy,

As I viewed this, I turned to the literal check from a class action suit that payed me $0.64. I haven’t deposited it because why bother except that I will deposit it because it’s the only way to hold corps to account.

Cort,

If your bank has mobile deposit use that so you can keep the physical check
