Guess the banks are raising their card rates again, eh?

Not only that, you could buy the rest of the world too. Ninety times over.

That's one hell of a glitch... wonder where the number 23,148,855,308,184,500 came from...

No clue. Crashed my prime number factor since it was higher than primes of 10000:

/ 2 = 11574427654092250
/ 2 = 5787213827046125
/ 5 = 1.15744276540922e+15
/ 5 = 231488553081845
/ 5 = 46297710616369
/ 2293 = 20190889933

I could actually find out, but that would take more time than I'm willing to waste.
