Er, what? Surely he's got the wrong end of the stick and they'll be refunding the excess $25 of his second purchase, (and now the entire $9975 of his superfluous third).

#12Sounds like he will have made his intended 10k investment, there's no indication the system doesn't work as intended (even though it could work a lot better, obviously - the app could check for the investment limit right away, and an 8-week window for refunds, in a system that offers 2-month investments, is borderline scammy).

#13It looks to me like he was going to get the extra $25 returned to him and have 10k in bonds. It's definitely vague though.

#15I'm missing the logic of the second 10k. He had already exceeded the limit. Why did he think that doing it again would change the outcome? It looks to me like he was going to get the extra $25 returned to him and have 10k in bonds. It's definitely vague though.

Yeah, it must be satire, or maybe someone straight out of uni and still waiting for the reality check.

#188-10 _weeks_ for a refund?! Jesus Christ. I know that US banking system is something else but this is preposterous.

Yes, so for the next 8-10 weeks until the refund is processed he's effectively loaned the government his money.
