Kuwaiti finds millions in his bank account

JEDDAH: Normally, when people pay a visit to the nearest ATM on pay day, “Hopefully, I will get my salary on time,” is the most reoccurring thought that comes to mind. Little did a Kuwaiti citizen know he would find $206,990,450 in his account.
The amount was deposited in the man’s account without his knowledge.
In order to be cleared from all suspicions, he immediately took a picture of the ATM screen and reported the case to the prosecutor through his lawyer, stating that a huge sum of money has been transferred to his account from an unknown source.
According to lawyer Saad Al-Rashed, the citizen was in the Qatari capital of Doha when the incident took place. The man will be interrogated for further details related to the case.
The source of the money is yet to identified.
