Sheesh! What was it, a wrapper from a chocolate laxative?

I was trying to find the right Google search, for the story of the kid / adult in USA, who [a] put a wrapper in the ATM envelope, [b] entered $1,000,000 and [c] the bank in question accidentally put the amount in the person's account AND for one whole year, did not reverse it and tried suing them. The person didn't do anything with the "money" (at this point, just numbers in the account) and the account didn't even earn interest. Might be along the same lines as "flustered worker pressing OK let it happen" instead of "do your job bank person".
