US bank customer Dalton Chiscolm will find out later today, Friday, 23rd October, if he is one step closer to becoming the world's first ever billion-trillionaire.
Mr Chiscolm sued Bank of America in Manhattan's federal court in August for "$1,784 billion, trillion", in a complaint that boiled down to poor customer service.
But US District Judge Denny Chin asked Mr Chiscolm to provide further evidence to support his claims by 23 October, or find them dismissed.
Judge Chin is familiar with large sums of money, having just sentenced financier Bernard Madoff to a 150-year prison term.
But Madoff's $65bn (�40bn) Ponzi scheme pales in comparison to the amount Mr Chiscolm expects from the bank.
Judge Chin called the complaint "incomprehensible", in an order released in court.
