Employee Of Cold Storage Company In Chile Received By Mistake A Million Dollar Amount, Disappeared After Promising To Return And Became Target Of Justice.

An employee of the Industrial Food Consortium, a Chilean cold storage production company, was surprised to receive a deposit far above the usual amount. Instead of the 500,000 Chilean pesos he earned per month (about R$ 2,800), the worker accidentally received 165,398,851 pesos, equivalent to approximately or around R$ 950 thousand.

Company Notices Error And Tries To Correct

The company’s human resources department identified the error and tried to contact the employee.

He even agreed to go to the bank the next day to return the money.

Resignation And Flee

Shortly thereafter, Cial was contacted by a lawyer on behalf of the employee. The message was clear: he had decided to resign from the position.

Since then, the man has disappeared. The company decided to take the case to Justice, alleging misappropriation of funds.

The case documents emphasize that he was duly informed that the amount did not correspond to any legal payment.

Six Months And No Sign

Six months after the incident, the IOL agency reported, in December 2022, that the police had still not located the former employee.

The company, in turn, continues to attempt to recover the lost amount. Meanwhile, the man seems to have vanished into thin air.

With a payment equivalent to 330 months of work in hand, the former employee seems in no hurry to reappear. It remains to be seen whether the payment is being well utilized — or if new complications are yet to come.

A Chinese factory in Guangdong is assembling a humanoid robot every 30 minutes while Tesla, Figure, and Boston Dynamics still struggle to deliver 10 thousand per year.

While an average building in London or New York takes three years to be completed, in China a 26-story tower went up in five days with about 100 workers, and the global modular construction market already moves US$ 95 billion per year.

Secret chamber sealed 4,500 years ago found in the Pyramid of Khufu, and Hawass announces its opening to the world in 2026

A public school student single-handedly created a machine capable of treating water for up to 50 people using only solar energy. It was awarded third place at one of the most important science fairs in the world.

Germany installed vertical solar panels on a lake in Bavaria, and the result broke conventional logic: instead of producing energy at midday peak, the plant generates more early in the morning and in the evening, exactly when families turn on appliances and factories are in full swing.

China has begun the second phase of energy assistance to Cuba with a 120 MW solar generation plan, and the first result is a photovoltaic park with batteries that regulates voltage, controls frequency, and provides local autonomy to an island suffocated by chronic blackouts.
