$88 billion deposited in woman's bank account

She was expecting a deposit but there was far more than just a paycheck in Stephanie Hickman's account on Saturday morning. $88,888,888.88 more. Of course, the Hickman's were honest and contacted Suntrust bank. The problem is the bank can't help them.

When her husband called Suntrust to report the error, even the managers couldn't fix it. "My husband talked to three different people and they all told us they can't access the account and they can't fix the problem," Hickman says.



Now Hickman cannot use her account at all. "Everything's frozen, online banking, mobile banking," she says. "I'm not saying that the $88 billion is my money, but the $150 at least that we had in the account was my money and now I can't even access that."

Hickman says Suntrust is telling them to wait. Until then, she'll have to make due with whatever cash is in her wallet.
