Pennsylvania’s
Chris Reynolds, who buys and sells car parts online was accidentally credited with more money
than the world’s annual gross domestic product and he never
technically was in possession of any of the accidentally credited funds.
"I'm
just feeling like a million bucks," Reynolds said when asked about the technical glitch . When Reynolds then went
to check his actual funds available on the site, he saw the amount was, in
fact, zero. PayPal hasn’t commented on the flub but Reynolds was quick to offer
his thoughts on how he theoretically would spend the $92,233,720,368,547,800
that initially showed up in his account.
"I'm
a very responsible guy," he said. "I would pay the national debt down
first. Then I would buy the Phillies, if I could get a great price."
In
a separate interview, Reynolds said he routinely exchanges about
$100 a month through the site. And he joked that he made a “generous” $30
donation to a local Delaware County Council candidate after seeing the enormous
PayPal statement.
"I
was moved to be really generous by good fortune," he said.To put the $92
quadrillion number in perspective, it’s 1,300 times greater than the world’s annual gross domestic product of $71.83 trillion.
Reynolds,
56, told the International Business Times that
he received a notice from PayPal the next day asking him to verify his credit
card information. "The sad part is that I got word that they still need me
to renew the credit card that's attached to this account," he said.
"So, even though I have 90 quadrillion dollars, they still don't trust
me."
