Understand the CBO wants to hire the clerk to help with congressional spending.

Lousy programming oversight, the system should never had allowed the entry.

“fat finger” input error

I do that all the time. I think I'm typing:
$81,000,000,000,000

And instead I stupidly type:
$280

He of course should be made to give the money back, but should at least get to keep the interest accrued on it.

Yeah, really. That wasn’t all supposed to go into the Biden family account!

The guy should have moved it to an interest bearing account for a day. He might be hit with an overdraft but 1 day of even modest interest on $81 trillion should cover the bank fees. :)

Well, it could have been legit. The guy might have been selling eggs at the local farmers’ market.

I wonder what the interest earned would be for 90 minutes on 80 trillion would be, I’d be happy with that

“Bank accidentally credits customer with $81 trillion instead of $280”

That actually happened to me once, except it was a brokerage, and it was on New Years Day. On January 2nd, first thing in the morning, it, alas, was all gone (I checked). I’m not sure being a billionaire for a day felt any different than before or after. Maybe if I was able to spend some of it.

That happened to me once. I withdrew $60 from the ATM and my available balance was $363,000, when I knew I had about $300. I saved the receipt, and the next day it was gone. They have algorithms running to catch that stuff. It was a grocery chains account that got fat fingered into my account. Nice while it lasted.

...a keyboard mistake...

What sort of keyboard mistake could possibly do that? Its not like a bank keys in transactions with exponents.
