I had a credit card bill from Morgan Stanley for £400,000

You had a whole 24 hours and the money was still in the UK? It should have been in the Caymans, and you should have been in Brazil by nowOriginally posted by TazMaNGreat mistake, I did a trade as I do many times, and they miscalculated the sell price. Ended up putting over £6,000,000 into my broking account.
Of course they took it out 1 day later
Oh well, for once in my life I knew how it felt to be a multi-millionaire
