Customer sues Bank of America for '1,784 billion, trillion dollars'

After being "really, really unhappy" with Bank of America's customer service, Dalton Chiscolm wants $1,784 billion trillion dollars transferred into his bank account and an additional $200,164,000.

The largest bank in the United States is being sued for a large sum by one of its own customers, Dalton Chiscolm, because, according to U.S. District Judge Denny Chin, he placed a number of calls to the bank in New York and was consistently given the wrong information from a “Spanish woman.” Since he was given disinformation from a customer service representative, he wants $1,784 billion trillion dollars and an additional $200,164,000, according to the court papers, Reuters reports. Dalton Chiscolm also sued his landlord in January 2009 for $892 million billion dollars because he did not give his landlord permission to enter his apartment. The large figure is more than the world’s 2008 Gross Domestic Product of $60 trillion but may not be able to receive such an amount of because of its “cosmic scale” according to Sylvain Cappell, New York University's Silver Professor at the Courant Institute for Mathematical Sciences, who says, “If he thinks Bank of America has branches on every planet in the cosmos, then it might start to make some sense.” According to Daily Finance, if Bank of America were to pay the request sum then it would wipe out the bank’s $196 billion 9.1 trillion times over. This is not the only lawsuit that Bank of America is facing either. New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is threatening to sue its Chief Executive, reports France 24. Chin called the lawsuit “incomprehensible.” Chin is not unknown to lawsuits that are part of astronomical sums of money. The US district judge was the one who sentenced Bernie Madoff to 150-years in prison and part of a $65 billion Ponzi scheme. Nevertheless, Chin has given Chiscolm until October 23 to “better explain the basis for his claims” and if not then the lawsuit will be dismissed.
