Perhaps you know that sinking feeling when a single keystroke accidentally destroys hours of work. Now imagine wiping out a disk drive containing information for an account worth $38 billion (€29 billion).

Silly silly man, reformats aren't for kids.

Wow, if that happened to me, I would honestly most likely get admitted into the psychiatric ward. o_o :rolleyes: :D

Guys, we all have mistakes like these every once in a while - and it's great to see that no one was blamed from the incident.

It's also great to see that they had the hard copies in-tact :D
