Ever forgot to pick up your ATM slip?

[iguanamanc]

It's a fair bet that he wasn’t as bothered by the £1.75 fee for withdrawing his cash as us mere mortals might have been.

This chap had $100million (£62million) in his account – and we know because he left the receipt at the machine.

The unidentified Wall St banker took out $400 (£250) but forgot the slip, which showed his balance was $99,864,731.94.

The piece of paper was picked up by a member of the public who passed it on to a financial blogger who posted it on the internet.

Is this any of you lot?

Oh hey, I was looking for that!

 

[Zen86]

Recession indeed

 

[golden_blunder]

and they wonder why the banks are all facing crisis

I could buy a Playstation 3 and reduce my available balance by half right now. He could do likewise with Luka Modric.

At the comment, not your financial situation obviously.

Buying a Bugatti Veyron would have as much impact on that guy's savings as buying lunch would have on mine.

I once took my payslip but left E300 sticking out of the machine. If I had a balance like that though it would be just like forgetting a few sheets of bog roll

 

[adexkola]

That depresses me

 

[Zarlak]

I'll look down on him tomorrow when I win the £136,000,000 jackpot tonight on the Euromillions.

Lucky bastard anyway. I bet he leaves his slips there on purpose and then watches to see the faces of those who pick it up.

That's considered poor in the Hamptons.

This thing has been floating around the internet for the last few days and everyone keeps says unidentified wall st banker. if he's unidentified how do they know he's in finance?

 

[Grinner]

I'm guessing he banks at Coutts or summat similar. Capital One is for commoners.

This is his pocket money account.

 

[mehro]

This is his pocket money account.

It probably is. That savings account would give almost no returns. If it was a large chunk of his money it would be incredibly stupid to keep it there.

 

[Grinner]

He paid an ATM fee so the money is in a different bank.

 

[mehro]

He paid an ATM fee so the money is in a different bank.

True. Still, he's using some kind of a debit card to take it out so it must be a checknig account actually. That's a lot of money to keep in checking.

 

[Zarlak]

Unless he's a billionaire, he could have 100m in 10 different accounts.

It's a ridiculous amount of money to have in one single account though if he isn't and that's all his money. Especially if he's a wall street banker he should know better.

Is it even real? Photoshop? Or definite slip.

 

[Excal]

True. Still, he's using some kind of a debit card to take it out so it must be a checknig account actually. That's a lot of money to keep in checking.

I can withdraw money from my checking, savings or money market savings account at any ATM.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

It's a lot of money to keep in any bank account. You'd that any hedge-fund manager worth his salt wouldn't leave that kind of capital sloshing around in a high-street bank account, savings or otherwise.

 

[mjs020294]

We don't really know what type of account it is though. It could be a money market or stock related account. Citi Private Bank customers can access any of there funds from an ATM.

 

[Excal]

Also, we don't know what this fellow's worth is. This could be a mere fraction of his money, while the rest isn't so liquid. The other thought being that with the volatility and less-then-stellar performance of the markets, he might've decided that it's best to sock most of his cash away into a guaranteed earner rather than risk it.

 

[Flying Fox]

What was he doing withdrawing $400 at 10:30 at night I wonder?

 

[VII]

There's no way a guy with that much money will just simply leave it in an account doing nothing.

 

[Commadus]

There is this naive assumption that these wall street bankers are some sort of finance gods and geniuses most got lucky with their earnings and bet big once and won. Jon Paulson is richer than this dude.
