Jia planned to use her Paypal account for the first time today. When she logged in, she accidentally found that there was $200 deposited in the account in July 2006. It is now $200 something with interest. Driven by curiosity, we downloaded the transaction history and plotted the monthly interest vs time. As shown below, the interest starts to drop dramatically from the end of 2007. As of July 2009, the interest earned is $0.02 per month. When will the economy bounce back ?!

So where did the $200 come from?
surely, it was from our own account. but don\’t remember it any more. So like winning a lottery!
