MANCHESTER, N.H. -- When Josh Muszynski checked his bank account online, he didn't expect to find a $23 quadrillion debit.

What Did He Buy?

"I thought somebody had bought Europe with my credit card."
- Josh Muszynski

Muszynski swiped his debit card at a local Mobil gas station to buy a pack of cigarettes for a few bucks, Instead, his Bank of America account indicated he spent $23,148,855,308,184,500 at the gas station -- an amount for which he probably could have used to buy the entire company.

Muszynski may never know what went wrong. He also wondered what he would've done if he actually had money like that to spend.

WMUR News 9 contacted Bank of America about the statement mishap, but representatives said the card issuer, Visa, could only answer questions. Visa, in turn, recommended that WMUR News 9 contact the bank

What would you do if the bank posted such a big error either in favor of you or against you?
The account owner said you would have bailed out GM. My opinion is that I would have bought the whole world....hahahaha
