What bank?
It is "odd" that it took them a month to realize their "mistake" and make the correction....
Maybe it's not an "accident" but an intentional act (of accounting fraud) by the bank to make their balance sheet look better for some audit, or earnings reporting period.
If they made a similar "mistake" for a few hundred, or thousand, accounts, they sure would be moving a good amount of money around and could make their balance sheet look "pretty" -- at least for a short period of time!
If it's a publicly-traded bank and was part of a fraudulent accounting scheme, maybe you could short the stock and make enough to afford that GT3 when the fraud eventually catches up with them!
