(Suffolk, VA-AP, November 26, 2004) — When Mike Kainrath found an extra $1.8 million in his bank account last week, he had just one thought: "Oh, no! Not again."
Kainrath had found an extra $115,661 in the account in April 2003, and $2,700 in November 2002.
According to the notice Kainrath received Nov. 17 from the Bank of New York, the money was supposed to have been transferred between a different bank in New York and one in the Netherlands Antilles.
Kevin Heine, a spokesman for the bank, said that sooner or later the error would have been caught when banks reconciled their transfers to each other.
Kainrath, a marketing research manager at The Virginian-Pilot newspaper in Norfolk, said he is going to make one change the next time he's in New York, just in case another huge sum lands in his account again, even for a few days.
