US man baffled to discover $89M in his bank account after waking up on a morning

Levene, who used to work as a bond trader at Goldman Sachs, logged into his account, expecting the usual routine.

Instead, he was met with a balance that seemed too good to be true.

The money had been deposited by E-Trade Financial Corporation, a company that provides online trading services.

Upon seeing the figure of $89,900,912, Levene initially thought he might have won the lottery.

“Did I just win the lottery?” He asked himself at the moment.

In his excitement, Levene called a friend to share the unbelievable news.

On the call, he joked: “Let’s go to Monaco, buy a yacht, and watch the Grand Prix.”

However, the joy of discovering such a large sum of money was short-lived.

Levene quickly realized that this was likely a mistake.

“Obviously, I knew it was a mistake.”

In his email to them, he attached a screenshot of his bank account showing the unexpected balance.

When they finally did, they confirmed that the money was indeed a mistake.

Although they apologized for the mix-up, they did not explain how such a large sum ended up in Levene’s account in the first place.

A representative stated that no wire transfers matching that amount had been processed.

They added that if such a case occurred, the company would work closely with the customer to resolve the issue.

While Levene may have briefly entertained thoughts of newfound wealth, the reality was that he didn’t actually have the money.

E-Trade took the necessary steps to reverse the transaction and remove the funds from his account.

After the situation was resolved, Levene reflected on the experience.

He understood that banking errors happen, but he was grateful for the brief moment of joy it brought him.

Reactions from the public

Many people on social media reacted to Levene’s story with a mix of disbelief and humor.

Some joked about what they would do if they found such a large sum in their account.

Others expressed sympathy for Levene, understanding the fleeting nature of his excitement.

I’d withdraw and get out of the country before they found me, one user joked.

Step one. Don’t say anything. Step 2. Don’t put it on social media Step three. Live your life, the second user gave a piece of advice.

Cash-out 1st and wait for updates from the source. At least have some of the cash on hand, the third user wrote.

I would become a missing person by mid-morning. Never gonna find me. Unless you look on a private island, another commented.

Possession is 9/10 of the law, someone said.
