There are three kinds of people: those who can do math and those who can't.

I wonder if he could have withdrawn the money if he’d just worked the keys at the gas pump a little faster?

He should have told them that it was an expected payment, and the nice Nigerian man said there were no legal impediments to the transfer.

Isn’t this kind of thing, using special numbers as trip signals, considered really poor coding practice?

According to Warren Buffet, he should be paying a lot more taxes. Expect him to get a call from the IRS.

Something similar happened to me in 1993.
I started working that summer at an automotive supplier, as a grad school intern (paid). The first thing HR/payroll ask for is a blank, cancelled/voided check with which they will use the routing and account numbers to set up direct deposit of wages.

So, two weeks roll around and I check my bank statement.
Something like $1.6 million in my account. I was tempted to start withdrawls, but I know how things like this usually work out, so I checked inside the bank.

Usually, a company will keep a payroll account open and mostly empty. Right before payday, they transfer funds into the account to cover the checks and direct deposit transfers. It seems the HR associate who took my check put it into the wrong folder and the bank/payroll used THAT account to place all employee wages for the pay period.

They found the error very fast, since the actual payroll account was empty and transfers were failing immediately.
