In the words of Chris Rock "good lord that's a lot of money!"

With that much money I could contribute to world peace by buying off the remaining members of the axis of evil.

The next thing I would do is grant the wish of the petition to the White House to build a deathstar.

Edit: Just checked, the estimate to build a deathstar would be 852 quadrillion. I would only have enough for a down-payment. You aren't ballin' until you can afford a deathstar.

I don't care how the number appeared. I'm confused how everyone seem to think he was "credited" with the astronomic sum. If you read the statement you can clearly see a negative sign in front of the number. He was not credited. He was massively in debt.

Indeed, I thought the same thing but I thought maybe I read wrong...

The thing is, this guy "transferred" the money to a different PayPal account. So there is actually a guy, who got "credited" with ~90 quadrillion.

> He was massively in debt.

In which case, I am surprised that PayPal gave in so easily instead of referring his acct to a collection agency. /s
