How many others are being shorted?

It adds up. Like when the character in Superman III played by Richard Pryor hacked the corporate computer to put all of the cent-fractions from company wide payroll on his check and it came out to $80k

Chisel a little, multiplied by thousands and thousands of employees, and it adds up.

The only thing that makes me wonder is that it's a relatively large, noticeable amount. If it were $9, or 90¢ it might not be noticed and I'd really be suspicious of it being widespread
