I know this probably isn't such a big deal, but I believe it happened before, and it may happen again. I tried transfering 3k to my alt so he could afford a new weapon (kind of strapped for gold right now so I just lost a large proportion of what I have), and when I hit the transfer button, my old guy lost the money, but my new guy didn't get any, I checked my other alts but didn't find any increases.
EDIT: Nvm, I just bought the weapon with less than 1k to spare, but I have 3k left still, so I did get it, it just didn't show until after I bought the weapon.
