A man in Chile left his home town after his boss sent him over 300 months’ worth of pay to his bank account by mistake.

The accused worked for 500,000 Chilean pesos ($542) per month at Consorcio Industrial de Alimentos (Cial), one of the largest producers of cold cuts in the South American country.

Due to a mistake, the firm’s management sent him a whopping 165,398,851 pesos ($180,000), which is about 286 times his real salary. This happened last month.

Local news outlets said that the worker had told a deputy manager in the human resources department about what had happened. When the employee went home, he or she told his or her family that he or she would give back the extra money.

The next day, though, he didn’t show up at the factory. After looking into it, it was found that the employee had left. The company is taking the employee to court to get the money back.
