CITIBANK SENT $81 TRILLION TO ONE CUSTOMER BY MISTAKE INSTEAD OF $280.

Citibank almost messed up big time with one keystroke.
They accidentally sent $81 trillion! Yes, $81 trillion, into a customer's account instead of just $280.
Two employees looked at the transfer and missed the mistake. It took a third employee to notice it and hit the alarm.

It took hours to fix it.
No money left the bank. But this shows a scary truth: Citigroup had 10 major transfer mistakes over $1 billion just last year.

Imagine what would've happened if no one caught it...
Citibank says they're now "investing in better technology."
Let's hope they're not using Excel.
