KfW accidentally transfers 100s of mns of EUR — over and over and over again

The Germans — they’re just like us. A German bank accidentally transferred EUR 5 bn to four other banks because of a technical glitch. State-owned KfW got the money back, but the kicker is that this isn’t the first time it’s erroneously transferred hundreds of mns of EUR: It did it with Lehman Bros. the day that institution filed for bankruptcy, Bloomberg reports.
