Just saw this KUTV 2 nightly news. Can't find the story on their website so i can't provide a link. US Bank somehow screwed something up and deposited $99 billion dollars into a Salt Lake couples checking account. The money actually was customer's account number or something. The couple apparently left it sit their account for a few days before checking with the bank.

What would you do with this much money?

With that much cash, I'd be singing the Swiss national anthem in about 2 days.

with that much cash you'd be pretty much stationary 😛
 
Buy an offshore island and throw month long party to start things off
I would make it my goal to personaly raise the stock of the makers of Jack Daniels and Dutch Masters by 5 points 😀
 
To be completely legal I bet you could transfer it into an investment account and just do a couple 'day trades' and shave off million dollar chunks from the market and when the bank calls about the missing 99 billion dollars just transfer the original money back to the bank and say thanks for the loan

Never said I was good, 😉

Although I am shocked that a despoit of 99 billion dollars does not cause a flag in the bank's system at all. If I despoit 99 billion dollars, I want freaking balloons coming out of the ceiling damn it!

Oh yea, YGPM
 
Well from the experience of being a <cough>Mormon<cough> and since Salt Lake is 95% Mormon, they would've thought the money was there by mistake and would have gone to the bank and have this cleared this up. If it was me I'd wire tranfer it all into multiple swiss bank accounts!!!!

Pull out what's left and head to Switzerland or the Caribbeans 😀
I bet that trading on that volume would directly affect the market, so I'm not sure how it would turn out
 
I'd buy two islands in the Caribbean. One would be called Guinness, and the other Bass. They would have the title of "Black & Tan Isles".
 
I would probably buy every single xbox that M$ makes in an attempt to prevent them from recouping the loss they make on their systems(nobody buying games) and then when they cancel the xbox, sell them as new for a ~ 40% loss(mmmm victory over microsoft)
