Is There Any Chance this $99 Million ATM Receipt Belongs to an Athlete?

All, Random Jason McIntyre June 30th. 2011, 5:59pm

Someone claims to have found this ATM receipt in the Hamptons recently, and as you can see, the account has a rather robust balance. He probably didn’t notice the $2.75 ATM fee.

Any shot this balance – I’m a bit skeptical that it is even real; if you’ve got $99 million, there’s zero chance you have it in a savings account, but I’ll play along, anyway – belongs to an athlete? My guess would be Gilbert Arenas. [via Dealbreaker]

Belongs to David Tepper. A hedge fund guy. Probably is something like Treasuries that are liquid enough that he can hold them in an account linked to a savings account.

Recently increased to $250k, but ya…nobody would do this.

it probably isn’t…no way he’d be that dumb. but a typical hedge fund manager would definitely be that desperate to show off their wealth, that’s for sure.

Did he make money off of fucking over this country by selling Timberwolf? If so, I hope he gets hit but a bus tomorrow.

I doubt it’s a fake, but I also highly doubt it’s real…it’s a real receipt, with a balance error is almost assuredly the case.

pound for pound, is this the biggest blowhard on twitter? Just go thru his last 20-30 tweets. Taking self promotion to new heights. I’m a big fan of him, but how can a guy this smart be that clueless when it comes to twitter and it’s proper use?

My grandfather was an astronomer, and didn’t like him and his self-promotion… then one of his cousin’s married Sagan’s sister or something, and that set it off.

I once went to an ATM that told me my balance was $100,630. It was fucked up, as the actual balance was $100.63. It happens. However I hear it’s David Tepper.
