Man Sues Bank of America For 1,784 Billion, Trillion Dollars

Dalton Chiscolm is so incredibly pissed at Bank of America's customer service, that he has now sued the largest bank in the U.S. for 1,784 billion, trillion dollars. Just how much money is that really? It's larger than a sextillion dollars, or a 1 followed by 21 zeros. Chiscolm's request is equivalent 1 followed by 22 digits.
10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
The World Bank estimates the world's gross domestic product at $60 trillion.
"Incomprehensible," U.S. District Judge Denny Chin said in a brief order released Thursday in Manhattan federal court.
"He seems to be complaining that he placed a series of calls to the bank in New York and received inconsistent information from a 'Spanish women,'" the judge wrote. "He apparently alleges that checks have been rejected because of incomplete routing numbers."
"These are the kind of numbers you deal with only on a cosmic scale," said Sylvain Cappell, New York University's Silver Professor at the Courant Institute for Mathematical Sciences. "If he thinks Bank of America has branches on every planet in the cosmos, then it might start to make some sense."
Good luck with that Dalton. You're fucking crazy, but, we're definitely rooting for you.

The combination of "billion, trillion dollars" will always make me laugh. It's almost as funny as a sneeze/fart combo...
I hope he does get some large settlement from them. They are ridonculous! We were involved with trying to buy a short-sale from them, or Countrywide as they had purchased that bank. After months of waiting for our offer to be excepted we walked away. Researched showed it was taking up to 8 months for them to move on house sales.
Meanwhile, they're one of the leading offenders in the whole sub-prime issue, as well as some of the first with their hands out for bailout money. Ehf them.
