Dan Saunders - ATM Glitch

In 2011, I discovered an ATM glitch that let me withdraw $1.6 million. For 4.5 months, I lived a fantasy—until guilt drove me to turn myself in.
My story isn't just about the money. It's about the psychology of temptation, the systems we trust, and what happens when ordinary people face extraordinary moral choices. Everyone with a bank account asks the same question: "What would I do?"
My upcoming memoir The Glitch (Simon & Schuster, 2026) has already generated over 100 million views across social media in dozens of languages. This is a Universal Story and this is an opportunity to hear the story from the man himself.
