Indiana man gets stimulus check for $8.2 million dollars!
Charles Calvin’s bank account got a FAT deposit from the federal government: an $8.2 million dollar stimulus check was accidentally deposited into his account!
Charles, a volunteer firefighter in New Chicago, Indiana, received his first stimulus payment from the federal government on Friday.
However, it wasn’t the payment of $1,700 Charles was expecting. Instead, his account had $8.2 million in it!
Charles told WGN 9 News, “I went to the ATM at the Family Express and once I withdrew $200 out of my account I looked at the available balance still left in my account.”
Not believing what he was seeing, he ran his card again but it said the same thing.
On Monday morning, Calvin called his bank and they said they didn’t see that amount in his checking account anymore. However, they did note that his $1,700 stimulus payment was deposited.
Now the volunteer firefighter is left wondering if there was some sort of fluke and if taxpayers are receiving way more or less than they should.
“It kind of sucks,” he said. “You go from being a millionaire one second then back to being broke again. But hey, once you’re poor you don’t have anywhere else to go but up.”
