Bank Employee Transfers Millions with an Ill-Timed Nap
A worker at a German bank momentarily fell asleep on the job, while executing a minor funds transfer for a retired customer. The problem was that his power-nap happened to take place while his finger was on the "2" key, resulting in a 222,222,222.22 euro transaction ($268,459,417). The fallout from the mistake, which included his supervisor's firing, seems to have been mopped up fairly easily, though I suspect that there is a disappointed retiree in Germany looking at their banking history.
Possible Preaching Angle:
In the spiritual realm, no wonder Jesus repeatedly warned us about the need for watchfulness and readiness.
