A man residing in Türkiye found a massive sum amounting to tens of trillions of won deposited into his bank account, prompting the local financial authorities to launch an investigation.

The amount deposited into Mr. A’s account was a staggering 99,999,999,999 lira, which is equivalent to approximately 3.35 trillion won.

In an interview with local media, Mr. A stated, “I doubted my eyes when I checked my account,” adding, “I immediately went to the bank and explained the situation. The employee who checked the account called a supervisor, and eventually the branch manager came out in person to verify the facts.” He continued, “Although the amount did indeed appear in my account, the transaction had already been blocked by the financial crime investigation authorities,” and added, “The bank employees also couldn’t believe what they were seeing.”

After news of the incident broke, a wide range of speculation surfaced across social media and online communities. Some suggested that a bank system error might have caused the incorrect amount to be displayed, while others raised suspicions that the funds could be linked to money laundering or financial crime.

Currently, Turkish financial authorities are focusing their investigation on the actual source of the funds and the specific circumstances behind the deposit. The bank that issued Mr. A's account has reportedly frozen the account and is reviewing the related transaction history.
