And here I thought that some cards still had per transaction total limits...

I wonder if I could buy a contry on credit, then flip it for a profit...


Hrm.
1) Get more credit cards
2) Buy small country on said credit cards
3)******
4) Profit!!

That was my fault you guys. It was due to a programming error, and that the problem has been corrected. What is interesting is that the amount charged actually reveals the type of programming error that caused the problem. 23,148,855,308,184,500.00 * 100 (I'm guessing this is how the number is actually stored) is 2314885530818450000. Convert 2314885530818450000 to hexadecimal, and you end up with 20 20 20 20 20 20 12 50. Most C/C++ programmers see the error now ... hex 20 is a space. So spaces were stuffed into a field where binary zero should have been.
