All you need to do is read the news to find people who may not be showcasing the latest and greatest in leadership skills.

For example, below is an article from the Reuters news agency last month. 

With lawsuits piling up on Bank of America during the current economic downturn, Dalton Chiscolm found a new angle.

In September, he sued the bank in federal court in New York City for inadequate customer service concerning his checks' routing numbers and asked for damages of "1,784 billion, trillion dollars" plus an additional "$200,164,000."

Judge Denny Chin gave Chiscolm 30 days to better explain his complaint but dismissed it finally on Oct. 23. (BBC News reported that the first amount, which is 1,784 followed by 21 zeros, is more money than exists on the planet.) [Reuters, 9-25-09] BBC News, 10-23-09]

Was this a prank?

It does not matter.  Leaders do not waste time on frivolity.  This is the silliest thing I have heard in a long time.

I mean, if it was for only 1,784 MILLION trillion, then I would understand...

...but he just got a little greedy, didn't he.
