Yeah it's got to be off by at least 3 orders of magnitude. 500K LOC might be industry standard bloat, but it should be doable in 50K if you hire good programmers.
But 500M is not credible, unless you are doing things like counting auto-generated code and open source libraries. Even then, you would have to be using 100,000 open source libraries to get near 500M LOC :)
