Lawsuit Hits BoA for '1,784 Billion, Trillion Dollars'

Man requests cosmic sum to compensate for bad customer service

Share

(Newser) – An angry customer is suing Bank of America for "1,784 billion, trillion dollars" over service he found less than satisfying, Reuters reports. Dalton Chiscolm filed the suit for "inconsistent information from a 'Spanish woman,'” a judge says. "He apparently alleges that checks have been rejected because of incomplete routing numbers." Chiscolm's demand surpasses a sextillion dollars, or a 1 followed by 21 zeros.

If he thinks Bank of America has branches on every planet in the cosmos, then it might start to make some sense. - Sylvain Cappell, New York University professor

@ dontlikeyou: you ever hear the axiom "to a man with a hammer, every problem looks like a nail"? i'm guessing you have, since it was even on this site in the last few days about a mcchrystal article. it's amazing how you can try to paint every issue as a failure of obama. please just shut your mouth, you goddamned idiot.

Hey assbags, do you remember 1999? We had a Democrat in office and a budget surplus? Then the majority voted for the guy who wasn't George W. Bush, but Dubya was declared president and we all had to sit by and watch as he fucked this country right into the ground for EIGHT FUCKING YEARS. That retarded clown is the reason we're in this fucking mess. We're all in this together though. I don't like any of you ignorant shit-stains anymore than you like me, but the fact is Barack Obama is the presidident of this country. It's America. We voted. He won. Even Glenn Beck thinks he's the right person for the job and the guy can barely tie his shoes. Let's focus on how we can get out of this mess now, and we'll focus on how we can beat each other to death with Sarah Palin's corpse later. Okay? Sound like a plan you fucking kids?
