My former supervisor has these Identified as Puerto Rican bananas.

Looks like pictures of Monkey Fingers I've seen.

I counted 18 hands which is double normal

It does look an awful lot like Monkey Fingers, e.g., see the photo on the Going Bananas website, which shows a similar number of hands. The fingers seem plumper than in the photos I've seen of this variety, but maybe it's just a very happy plant. Nick, any chance you'll get to taste any of these are report back? Whatever it is, it looks like an awesome plant.

Nice! I'd like to know the weight on that bunch.

Unfortunately, I won't get to know much about it. My former supervisor and I don't see or talk to each other too often. I can only imagine that the bunch would be over 100 lbs.
