    Why would a $120k spend on a business card (entered by the cardholder on an advertising account under their name) be suspicious?

    This doesn’t follow the pattern of a stolen card at all.

    EDIT: Dad set up the YT brand account using his employer’s Google Workspace. He handed all his work emails and sensitive auth to the kid too. Dad is stupid as fuck.

      $120K spent advertising a kid’s Minecraft channel is suspicious. The initial flag should just have been for “card not normally used suddenly spending a shit-ton of money—does this look legit?” After that, a ten-second check of what was being advertised would have shown that something was fishy.

        Eh, not necessarily. Those kidslop channels can pull in serious income, a company starting one up makes sense.
