\nA Louisiana family could have really answered the question, what would you do if you were a billionaire? While doing their routine banking, Darren James, a Baton Rouge real estate agent and his wife noticed that a whopping $50 billion had been deposited into their joint account. \u201cThat\u2019s not like a one zero error or a two zero error, that\u2019s somebody that fell asleep on the keyboard error,\u201d James said. \u201cI was excited for sure. Really surprised how it got there and wondered if I had a rich uncle that gave it to me.\u201d On Tuesday, Chase Bank corrected the error and placed the actual balance back into James\u2019 account. \u201cWe\u2019re still trying to figure out what happened, why it happened, how it happened, but we know we aren\u2019t the only ones this happened to,\u201d he said to CNN. \u201cThe concern is whether my account was compromised, and the bank hasn\u2019t even called me. We haven\u2019t heard anything from anyone.\u201d \u201cWe had a technical glitch a couple weeks ago impacting a limited number of accounts. The issue was resolved one day later and all accounts are showing accurate balances,\u201d said Chase Bank spokeswoman Amy Bonitatibus. Despite it being not unheard of for those who accidentally fall into riches to go out and spend the newfound money, James did not even think about it. \u201cMy moral compass only goes one way and that\u2019s the correct way,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s a big difference between morality and legality. Honesty and good moral character immediately kicked in, we can\u2019t do anything with the money. I didn\u2019t earn it, it\u2019s not ours to spend.\u201d \u201cUnless it was a rich uncle or one of those emails I probably responded to from a Saudi Arabian prince who promised to give me $50 billion, that\u2019s a different story,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
