Citigroup Mistakenly Credited a Customer with $81 Trillion
Citigroup
In an unusual mix-up, a banking customer was accidentally credited $81 trillion instead of $280, thanks to a simple input error. Citigroup made the transfer in April, but it took 90 minutes before the mistake was noticed and reversed. The issue, which was later reported to the Federal Reserve, was quickly corrected with no impact on the bank or its client.
The incident, categorized as a "near miss," is part of a series of similar errors Citigroup has experienced. The bank stated that while the transaction was flagged and reversed due to its controls, the event highlights the need to continue automating systems and eliminating manual processes. Last year alone, Citigroup recorded 10 near misses involving sums of over $1 billion.

Valkyrae and Cinna gave fans an update after a scary incident during their Sis-A-Thon marathon. While streaming on Santa Monica Pier with Emiru on March 2, a man approached, demanding their phone numbers and proposing marriage. The situation escalated when he followed them and lunged, challenging them to a fight. The stream was cut off, and security was called.
Later, Cinna and Valkyrae reassured fans they were safe with police. Cinna mentioned needing time to process, while Valkyrae confirmed the marathon would end early and thanked viewers for their support.

Pokémon Champions Announced for Switch and Mobile
The Pokémon Company
The Pokémon Company has announced Pokémon Champions, a new multi-platform battle game, sparking comparisons to the popular Pokémon Showdown. While Pokémon Showdown has been a fan favorite for years, Pokémon Champions could become the official battle simulator for players.
The game will be available on the Nintendo Switch, Android, and iOS, though no release date has been set. It will support Pokémon Home, allowing players to import Pokémon from multiple games, including Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and Pokémon GO.

Beast Games Employee Calls “Preventable” Accident Near-Fatal
Prime Video
A Beast Games employee, Sam, was seriously injured on set, requiring surgery to reconstruct his shoulder and remove his spleen. He blames unsafe conditions for the accident, telling Business Insider that he walked into an area with no warnings, right beneath a tower being disassembled. When a section of the tower collapsed, it crushed his shoulder and caused significant damage to his lungs.
Sam, who spent eight days in the hospital, is now seeking compensation. Both he and a supervisor claim there were no clear markings to indicate construction overhead, though another source says there was a marked path. Sam believes the whole incident could’ve been avoided.
