Hey Tim,

Nice script, hey i was playing around with the script and I found a
little bug that is pretty important. If u look http://bank.timg.ws 
u will see that the balance now is 10 million dollars. The program
needs to implement a way to block negative transfers. I transfered
-20 dollars to check and voila, the balance increased by 20. Im not
a php master but i can take a look at it. But i cannot run it on my
server, just on wamp.

Cheers,
Rafael
