I wonder if you could provoke the doubling bug until you got to a ridiculous amount or an overflow that would be just too ridiculous to not be considered a bug.

I wonder if you could provoke the doubling bug until you got to a ridiculous amount or an overflow that would be just too ridiculous to not be considered a bug. If a post office owed a billion pounds then that would be impossible to blame on the postmaster.

Yes but ironically if you intentionally triggered the bug you'll definitely be found guilty of fraud. I don't think the "I was just trying to show how ridiculous the bug was" defense will go too well in court.
