Daniel Levene, a Manhattan venture capitalist, lived every day-trader’s dream on Tuesday: He awoke to find E-Trade accidentally deposited more than $89 million into his account.
“Did I just win the lottery?” he asked himself as he logged on to his computer at about 10 a.m.
A screenshot of the mistake.
Rubbing his eyes, Levene definitely saw an extra $89,900,912.00 posted to his account, he told The Post.
And no, the 50-year-old former Goldman Sachs bond trader didn’t immediate transfer the money to a Swiss account and hop a flight to the islands or some fancy tax haven.
Although he did joke about it with a pal.
“Let’s go to Monaco, buy a yacht, and watch the Grand Prix,” he suggested after phoning a friend.
