Didn’t Hamilton forget his bank account number once or something 

ok i left you the answer on snapchat but here’s an actual reference rather than just my word. but uh yeah he lost his checkbook and so he also lost his account balance:

“Months after leaving office, he wrote to the Bank of the United States and admitted that he did not know his account balance because he had lost his bank book—this from the man who had created the bank.” (Alexander Hamilton, Chernow, 502)
