A German Bank Accidentally Transferred $5.4 Billion to Four Other Banks

Now imagine if they had transferred them to a single unsuspecting person and that person checked their account before the error was discovered. If it were me I'd probably faint.

Joking aside, if it really happened the best thing to do is just to notify the receiving bank to deal with it.

And request the interest rate deduction for the time the money spent on our account (since they, like in some German banks, are charging us with interest rates instead of giving it to us)

Credit Suisse can that, too.

“Don’t panic over there, I’m dealing with this,” Mr. Galbraith said in a Feb. 5 email.

How on earth did Credit Suisse manage to make 3 (three) wire transfers to pass all these money to him and never noticed they were in error? How does that happen?
