Samsung once accidentally sent its employees $105 BILLION in stocks


An employee was paying dividends of 1,000 Korean Won to each staff member which is less than a dollar but he typed 1,000 shares instead of 1,000 won
2.83 billion shares went out worth more than 30x the entire company
Samsung caught it 37 minutes later but 16 employees had already sold $190 MILLION
Stock crashed 12% in minutes and 8 employees were criminally charged for selling shares that never actually existed
