Google mistakenly sent an engineer almost $250,000 | CNN Business

Sam Curry, a staff security engineer at cryptocurrency company Yuga Labs, described the baffling payment on his verified Twitter account on Tuesday. “It’s been a little over 3 weeks since Google randomly sent me $249,999 and I still haven’t heard anything on the support ticket,” wrote Curry. “Is there any way we could get in touch @Google?” “It’s OK if you don’t want it back,” he added.

Unfortunately for Curry, it seems Google is working to get the money back. Google told CNN in a statement that the mistaken payment was a result of “human error.” “Our team recently made a payment to the wrong party as the result of human error,” wrote a Google spokesperson in an email to CNN. “We appreciate that it was quickly communicated to us by the impacted partner, and we are working to correct it.

Google please add my account for your next blunder

Employee after receiving that 200,000 paycheck for doing absolutely nothing to provide the company:

When I was 7, we went to the bank to put some money in my savings. When they updated my book it said I had $333,000,000. I should have just kept my mouth shut. :P

Sounds like Republican lawmakers.

Your creator decides to bless u and u choose to make it public ....he will take it back

ghnewssummary Mistakes like this🙄

Okay, maybe that's why Google is a great company.🤣🤣🤣

Well good for him for being honest and letting Google know they made a mistake. If Google want their money back, they should at least compensate this honest man for the inconvenience they caused him and apologize. That would be the fair thing to do.

Good for him

Hh sleep with the rest of the money

Is the man outta town?

If Google mistakenly send d guy, then d guy would mistakenly disappear! A test 4 Google map though!

Why it's time to start paying with $2 bills | CNN BusinessInflation has made it hard to pay for much with a buck these days. Wouldn't it make more sense to start paying with $2 bills instead?

An Indian tycoon just ousted Jeff Bezos as world's second-richest person | CNN BusinessJeff Bezos just lost his status as the world's second-richest person, dropping to No. 3 as Indian business mogul Gautam Adani rapidly climbs the ranks of Bloomberg's Billionaire Index. At least we don’t have to see Adani’s six pack abs. Common Indians get poorer by the day as India's biggest defaulter's loans are written off by the banks. Shame. Modi = Adani. If you want to see Kpletocracy in full form, stop by at New Delhi. Tragedy is Modi doesn't have even an iota of shame!
