Woman stunned to find she's $50,000,000,000 in debt after night out

Just imagine the level beer fear as soon as she saw the online bank statement

Imagine getting home from a night out and finding out you've become the complete opposite of a multi-billionaire.

Many of us probably aren't that surprised when we come home after a night out and check out bank balances to see we've gone into the minus zone, however, one woman got the shock of her life when she got back and realised her account stated a staggering $50 billion had been taken out. That's one hell of a night out.

A TikToker called Gabe Floress took to his page to reveal he and his friends went out to a bar but when they got home and his friend Maddie checked her bank balance, it turns out they were in for a nasty surprise.

Maddie opened up her Chase banking app to find one of her accounts read the balance $76.28 and the other savings one read: " -$49,999,999,697.98."

In the video, another friend can be heard noting they thought Maddie was 'exaggerating' but then quickly realised the severity of the situation.

Maddie continued: "What do I do?"

In a since-deleted video on her own TikTok page Maddie said: "I wish I could say I bought the city of Los Angeles. It's not the case here. I'm not really sure what inclined me to check my bank account at like 2 am. But I did. And then I saw negative 49 billion."

Maddie immediately called her bank and the person she got on the phone too was as baffled by it all as she was.

Re-enacting the conversation, Maddie said: "'Hello this is Chase bank how may I help you?' Hi, I'm negative 50 billion dollars in debt, and I'm not quite sure why. Do I have 50 billion dollars? No. I do have $76. So she goes, 'can I put you on hold?' I've never seen this before. I was like, oh."

She added, "It also said on my account I would get $50 billion in 2099. Which would be sick but I don't know if I would be alive at that point."

A spokesperson for Chase banking confirmed to Newsweek it experienced a 'technical glitch over the weekend' which impacted 'a limited number of accounts'.

They continued at the time: "The issue has been resolved and those accounts are now showing accurate balances."

And Maddie was relieved to say the least.

In the video, she continued: "First of all I want to say thank you. I get 50 billion dollars is a little crazy. But we're here and it's resolved.

"So Chase started this thing, where if you have a problem with your account, it could be so many different things. You need to change the type of account you have, whatever. They started it this weekend which is why you're seeing other people have the same problem. So if you have this problem, give them a call."

Responding to another TikToker who commented on the video jokingly thanking her for paying their 'student loan,' she resolved: "So no, I'm not 50 billion dollars in debt anymore, thank God. And unfortunately I wasn't the person to take on everyone's student debt, but maybe Jeff Bezos will."
