8 year old boy In Kentucky got a hold of his mom's phone and somehow ordered 70,000 lollipops from Amazon. They were delivered yesterday to their house.

The bill was 43,000 dollars. Anyone else have some good stories of other kids doing things similar to this.

I have a hard time understanding how this happened.  I know my credit card company would flag and reject the purchase and would expect Amazon to reject it as well.

Mom must be a really good customer. Maybe they have Chase Sapphire or the Centurian Card from American Express. It showed all the boxes stacked up by the front door.

I did a little research and found the total price was 4000 dollars. The lady's name is Holly LaFavers and her son is Liam. Amazon agreed to refund the full amount.

I could see $4k flying thru on some credit cards but maybe he paid in bitcoin.

A friend of mines son (13 years old) was caught doing online bidding for cars. It was an older Mustang. I think he was up to 12,000 dollars when he got caught. His older brother turned him in. This was 20 years ago.
