Accidental Millionaires

In this day and age, how exactly does a bank, or more precisely 

a person at a bank make this caliber of a mistake?  You would think

their systems would identify an error of this magnitude with many

too many zeroes immediately.

However, on or about May 5, the bank erroneously put NZ$10 million 

($6.1 million) into their bank account.

This gas station owner had requested NZ$10,000 but

this is what he got.  The guy and his girlfriend in question are

nowhere to be found 24 hours later although they are now 

hot on their trail from New Zealand to Hong Kong where Interpol

(I love that name, it feels so Bondish) is on the case.

  

Somehow I doubt they will come to a good and happy end.  This is not the stuff fairly tales are made of.  Although D.B. Cooper is still on the loose today.
