His parents might be wanting to try a really reaaalllyyyy late term abortion...
Rtsydm
Give them Cartman moms number
TheFeralDog
If his name isn't on the his parents card and he's not an authorized user, paypal won't legally have a choice but to refund the money
HypnotoadIRL
Only if tye parents are willing to press charges against their kid.
thealmightddd
The parents can still get a chargeback from there credit card company under friendly fraud if the kid did this without their permission
KronaSamu
When my credit card got stolen, one of the things they ask you is if a family member has it, it might not be applicable if it was family

I am a full time streamer, once I got like 1000uad in donations refunded, and paypal actually charged 10usd extra for complaining (1/?)

Well, regardless of this story, Paypal is a bunch of dicks and shitheads.
GiveAManASandwichAndHeIsFullForADay
I sincerely hope he is stuck flipping burgers until it's all payed off.
nameman
In Australia, you get paid $17.70 an hour to flip burgers and double that on Sunday's. Plus he probably doesn't pay any rent or bills.
le76
Yep, the minimum wage over here... Anyway coffee is $10
GiveAManASandwichAndHeIsFullForADay
Holy fuck
MayTheTriforceBeWithU
Sooo... The rest of his life?
Fishworshipper
Pretty sure it shouldn't take the rest of his life to earn $50k.
MayTheTriforceBeWithU
It would in the US, depending on the state. If he makes min wage flipping burgers and still has to pay for living costs. I'd take a lifetime
Fishworshipper
OK, I'll concede that depending on the state and potential living costs, it might take a lifetime.

Wow, a reasonable response. That's not what I was expecting. +1

Californiaburritosareamazinghaveyoueverhadone
Are 18-year old's not responsible for their actions in Australia? No offense intended at all but wouldn't this just end up as grand theft?
Reivenne
Aus here. It's only theft if his parents press charges.
RifleJohn
I think the owner of the credit card (his parent) would have to press charges for theft in U.S. Australia? I don't know.

IsuckAsthis
Your legally an adult and responsible at 18. However the parents will have to file charges against their son for punshment to happen.
Smilemoar
Yes, they are. However, it boils down to do the parents wear the cost or do they file for fraudulent use of their CC.
jagster357
They are but his parents aren't going to press charges against him.
ChaMura
Perhaps. We'll have to wait and see what happens to him.
le76
They're probably going to pass him though a torture chamber
Pottstick
He ain't robbing a bank. He didn't break a law as far as i know. He asked for a refund and pay pal went "nah fuck off mate"
Smilemoar
It is breaking the law.
WildBluntHickok
It wasn't his money though. It's like he stole 50 thou from his parents.
JosephFinlay
Depends on whether the parents gave him permission to use his card.. doubt it was 50,000 worth of permission but it would negate criminality
WildBluntHickok
True.
mremaknu
It wasn't his money, and is therefore fraud. His parents would have to press charges for him to be prosecuted though.
JosephFinlay
Not Fraud...
squelcheswetly
Plot twist, the parents happily pay the $50,000 and slaughter and consume their child for being a piece of shit.

I don't understand why twitch needs to show the player in the first place. Just show the game then it's irrelevant if it's a camgirl.
Cucumberflant
Are you talking about facecams? You don't need one to stream on twitch, it's something that the streamers set up themselves if they want to.
slapmychipsup
What'd she do? I just recognize her as one of the non pro streamers not worth watching.
JmanSharpshot
She flashed on stream, some people argue it wasn't an accident but she says it was. It's happened multiple times.
ComfortablyNumbDK
But was it proved that she actually "flashed" anything other than thighs and parts of her buttocks? Either intentional or by accident.
JmanSharpshot
I think that she's only showed underwear and thighs and stuff but I'm unsure. Possibly still violates twitch's terms of service
Burritoheart
She also drunkenly said on stream that kids with cancer deserve to die
genericuniquename
Well that's a really rough paraphrase of what she actually said
LordCord
She literally said "Children that have cancer are going to die, and they are meant to die."
genericuniquename
Meant to die and deserve to die are hugely different. Not saying it wasn't a dumb thing to say. But they mean different things
Burritoheart
"Children that have cancer are meant to die" You're right. Much better.

LOL! I did this back in '92. Except it was LD to NY, CA, and Ontario. From Hawaii.
Tivec
The wonderful sound of a modem connecting. I used to call international. Dad was not pleased.
ImakeEverythingAwkward
I once donated 50,000 to a twitch streamer thinking the "," was a period but it wasn't and PayPal wouldn't refund me. Dad was not pleased
bushidopirate
This article is acting as if the kid got what he deserved, but his parents are the real victims here :/
Lockerd
they're considerably well off to somewhat wealthy, so it's not much of an issue for them.
underageotters
That was my first thought. That's the kind of money that could bankrupt someone in a bad position.
BigDaddysMeatWagon
He gon get a whopping.
XaiaX
Well, they made him, so it's their fault.
TopherTots
Haha, if I was his parent is get the loan to cover it, but he'd be paying it and Me, back with interest... render that ps4 you had/wanted?
Nk4512
Should of pulled out. Welp time for a late term abortion
Snugglesworthy
*Should have* Mr. President.
thetonestarr
They may be able to report as fraudulent charges
IcyhotFeelsNice
Yea then there son can do time for credit fraud, it actually seems fair. Credit companies are no innocents so I don't care them paying too.
Trickky
Probably the parents will prove fraud, and get the amount removed while the kid is prosecuted for fraud.
CyborgScribe
Parents get what's coming to them for raising an asshole and giving him 50k.
IcanttiemyshoesbutIcanfuckyourbitch
They raised a kid shitty enough to steal their credit card though...
DoYouGrokHorton
Sometimes.. parents do everything they can and their kid still turns out to be an asshole.
carbolicious
People on this site don't seem to understand this at all.
dpidcoe
I understand it, it's just that if you know your kid is an asshole you probably shouldn't leave your credit cards where he can get to them.
ChainsawHandsJoe
I speak from experience.
Tamaril
so then they press charges and have him sent to prison
ApsychicRat
ya i agree with this, if my daughter ever stole from me id disown her faster than soic chasing rings
imnotinprisonhidingaphoneinmybutt
B/c THAT always changes people for the better. Lol
sudowi
I'm not sure we can say that's entirely true. If the parent's gave permission to use the credit card, then no. they got what they deserved
Mokthol
They really are, but I'm sure they'll find a way to get him to pay it back.
Wolfos
It's 50 grand, though. A kid's not exactly going to make that kinda money any time soon.
NeoAcario
He probably has a kidney he doesn't need....
youmoron
do you know someone? i have a kidney i dont need.
shmekie
Sorry, Jake, no gap year or college for you. Straight to work!
bushidopirate
I'm old fashioned, but since the money was essentially stolen, I'd feel compelled to give it back to the parents if i was a streamer...
jrogon5
Parents getting a real life example of how their get was raised by the examples during upbringing.
INeverThoughtIdMakeThisAccount
It's definitely difficult because as a streamer that's your livelihood, and depending on how much time passed some of it could've been used.
INeverThoughtIdMakeThisAccount
I'm not sure I'd feel right keeping it either, but I don't know if I could 100% fault anyone who did, either.
Rkhbusa
Nah fuck him and them for raising a shitty kid.
GetBackToWorkYouFool
Yeah, definitely not entirely their fault. I don't have a kid yet but I'm sure it comes with its challenges and it's not fair to say that :\
Croaked
Even great parents can have shitty kids. Js
SchmuseTigger
Yes, they are. And they can probably sue the son, but he will work many, many years to pay that back. Strange that the card even allowed 50k
notreallythatunpopularopinionrabbit
50K isn't that strange, if you have few cards and good credit for a number of years. It a more advanced form of adulting.
ChefObvious
Welcome to Affluenzaville.
Rkhbusa
I got 20k on mine and know a lot of people who have 30k. If you got some assets 50k isn't really that unreasonable.
SchmuseTigger
As a monthly limit? Without warning from the credit card company? I personally would never have a that large limit permanently..
Rkhbusa
It's good if you travel
AliElkie
My card has a 3k credit limit and I would have a heart attack if someone maxed it out
ThePastmaster
Bank called me and told me they were putting a credit limit on my card since I was being a good customer. I told them to take that shit off.
Shohanna
My ex husband did that on my card!! Not his, I had it before we were married. I had awesome credit. He stole MY card and spent 3k 1/?
Shohanna
My whole balance, at a game store! I got home and saw all the packages, I said where did you get the money?! I made him pack it all up 2/?
SchmuseTigger
Yes, having 50k seems so strange. Maybe they are rich and don't care THAT much?
AliElkie
My friend spends like £100 on her card a month and pays it off every month, for like 10 years, they keep raising her limit, it's now 25k
JuliaY
They may be able to have their credit company forgive some of it, but they shouldn't have given him a credit card or at least one w/ a limit
mynameisnotalice
He used his parent's card. Probably without permission.
JuliaY
If he stole it, which is possible, then I'd have him arrested for theft if I was the parents.
Blud4BludGod
YEAH. That'd fuck him up REAL good
gad885
Thanks dad
Sprixxen
You'd send your kid away for a felony grand theft and fraud charge? That's like 25 years. Well played parents.
kevlarburrito
That's assuming he'd get tried as an adult, not likely
barbarianchick
Isn't he from Australia? I'm not sure US rules would apply.
247saf
How did the bank not flag up the transactions and block the card till verified.Couldn't parents bypass paypal and get bank to do chargeback?
StooperDave
I doubt it. Paypal can reach into your bank/credit card and take money back if they detect fraud. this is one of those situations.
mexicanstig
The bank sees it as a charge to paypal, paypal divys the cash
HarryBlackstoneCopperfieldDresden
As long as the parents can prove that their son stole the money and that they didn't authorize its use, the FI is legally required to (1)
HarryBlackstoneCopperfieldDresden
credit back the balance (dictated by international credit/banking regulations). However, they may require the parents to press charges (2)
HarryBlackstoneCopperfieldDresden
against their son to prove their commitment to the assertion of fraud. Source: 15 years in FI Fraud detection/prevention. (f)
LiquidIsUbiquitous
Don't worry about it to much. The story is bogus. The streamers have confirmed he did not chargeback anything.
hoohex
nah, the bank would investigate and then refer the card holder to the police. I work for CBA :p
UmaroXP
Srsly. My bank freezes my account if I try to buy something worth more than 20 bucks. Drives me crazy.
Jimmyvtss
In my experience as an Australian using Paypal it takes a few days to get charged to your credit card. Also the exchange rate makes it 65k
snurx
I think it may have something to do with the conversion rate to dollarydoos
iago18
Banks usually let paypal handle their own disputes. If's one of the few companies they do this with
Dafirnz
It would depend on how the account was set up I think. There's a whole mountain of liability issues too.
aalcoholism
PayPal rep here.. Yes, they can, and it will be up to the bank to make the final decision. PP will notify the bank that it is a donation tho
FelixG
a lot of banks are hesitant to charge back on Paypal, plus you have to have a legit reason to do so not "I was fucking with these people."
HarryBlackstoneCopperfieldDresden
FI's couldn't care less which merchant or payment processor was used in the transaction. They are legally required to research and follow(1)
HarryBlackstoneCopperfieldDresden
up on every single assertion of fraud. (2)
tranderas
"The card was stolen and used without authorization" is a legit reason.
Rediculocity
Yeah seems a bit odd... Most credit cards tend to have a limit of under $5000 as well and I doubt his parents have 5 CC each...
volatilityshort
5k limit? I'm a 33 yo guy in the US, and my card has a 50k limit. 5k is pretty low.
mrdjnz
Most. But not if you have a high income and have been good with repayments.
OSCgal
This guy's attitude suggests to me that his parents are wealthy. They probably have great credit. Or used to, anyway.
aeolous16
As someone who has had my card information stolen and approximately 5 grand spent out of my account over the course of a couple days, (1)
aeolous16
halfway across the country from where I live, banks don't always pay enough attention to flag transactions even when they're obviously fraud
HarryBlackstoneCopperfieldDresden
It depends on the bank. I've worked 15 years in FI Fraud Detection/Prevention, and for the FI's I've worked for, I'm proud of the (1)
HarryBlackstoneCopperfieldDresden
detection models I've created. I can't get into details, but a lot of work goes into analysing your behaviors and trying to prevent bad (2)
HarryBlackstoneCopperfieldDresden
transactions from going through without adversely impacting the legitimate ones. (3)
aeolous16
Of course. I don't mean to say that the detection methods are worthless by any stretch, just that unfortunately, even the best systems (1)
aeolous16
can never be perfect, and sometimes stuff slips through the cracks.
anonymax
If your card has a $50k+ limit, this kind of spending isn't that unusual
Treblaine
Yeah, credit card companies want you to buy cars and boats on them.
GoCorral
My dad has a spending limit of ~50k and he rarely spends over 3k/month.
Joemammaangiedaddy
I find it odd that you would know this information...
GoCorral
You know what, it is a little odd. My dad and I love talking about money, debt, and investments, but most don't. Especially w/ parents.
gtmiller
Its not that wierd, why wouldn't you teach your kids how to budget?
GrimRiderJ
Shit I wish someone had taught me
RenegadeTQ
Could have been multiple cards. I'm a young buck with 5 cards each with $6k or more limits.
QuazMasta
Son you need to cut up 3 of those cards.
vielleicht
Sooooo....you're highly in debt?
SniggleJake
Just because you have credit doesn't mean you should or have use it.
vielleicht
owning multiple credit cards isn't usually a sign of good financial behavior.
RenegadeTQ
Not a bit in debt. I have great credit (nearly 800) because I always pay them off.
PMmepicturesofgiraffes
I had a 50k limit by the time I turned 20 and my family is far from wealthy. Started with an $800 limit and bank nearly doubled it (1/2)
PMmepicturesofgiraffes
every single month. My old econ teacher that worked as a banker said they did it in hopes people would overspend and be in perpetual debt.
PennFifteen
Really cool story
fettuccine
how did you double your limit monthly.
PMmepicturesofgiraffes
Some cards increase like crazy, especially when you use it to pay for nearly everything and pay it back at the end of the period.
whotheFUCKletthedogsout
I'm 22 and was pre approved for a card with unlimited credit. I can guarantee you I'm not spending anywhere near 50k a month
whotheFUCKletthedogsout
Nope I'm wrong everyone. Nevermind
zombiesphere
You're an idiot
whotheFUCKletthedogsout
And you're an amazing tennis player
zombiesphere
How'd you know??
Scuvich
Personal credit card with unlimited credit?
whotheFUCKletthedogsout
https://m.creditcards.chase.com/chase-freedom-unlimited.aspx I believe. I didn't look too much into it since I wasn't going to switch.

drklrdchutulu
*facepalm* plz tell me you're joking, right
insidetraitor
More than likely, so long as the kid isn't an authorized user on the card... but they're going to have to press charges on him for fraud.
L3gionAir
well if those gambling commercials taught me anything as a kid, its that a kid can use a card and when its gone, its gone
diregamer
As an ex credit card service person, only if the parents do not accept the charges. They can accept them and not push charges against 1/?
diregamer
their little moronic spawn.
brendoncnz
Easier than trying to send him to his room i guess
99popcorn
If he is in his room he will just sit there and donate again. The real punishment would be to send him outside.
ThaEnder
Especially in Australia.
ireallylikebutts
With the creatures.
CorwinMacGregor
I hope they fuckin' do. little shit should be old enough to learn that lesson.
IHAVENIPPLES
Depends on the set up, plus he was 18 if parents challenge he could be changed with fraud and $50k is I think 5 year minimum jail time
Nihelus
Don't know how Australian law works, but I'm sure it's similar to America. The kid is screwed no matter what, and rightly so.
nedski
This happened in Australia so the penalty would be low. If it went to court, probably suspended sentence. Used to work in Fed Prosecutors
IHAVENIPPLES
For 50k? I did a little looking up when I found it was in Australia and depending on how it is handled it could work out to serious charges
nedski
Factors would be that he is young, maybe first offence also $50k usually wont see you get jail time.
barnwolf
I feel like $50k has a 5 year minium, and $50mil and 2 year minimum.
errrikblack
i think you're wrong 50mil probably has a 2yr max
IHAVENIPPLES
Yup unfortunately because if you stole $50mill you can afford a really good lawyer.
GenoBeam
If I was his parents that would seem like a reasonable amount of time for my son to think about what he did. XD
barnwolf
Ironically, kid would earn 50k in five years at minimum wage, and we wouldn't have to pay for his incarceration.
Spamamdorf
5 years in jail is pretty fucking rough for what amounts to a guy who was playing with people's emotions, it's not like anyone was hurt.
SarahsAlbums
50k bro, the parent's wallets were hurt, that's around a years salary.
YouHaveToTellMeIfYoureARobocop
Physically no but he was trying to hurt them financially by having them spend the money he donated then revoking it leaving them on the hook
mremaknu
When somebody takes fifty grand from you and uses it to try and give someone hope and then destroy it, see how unhurt you think everyone is.
gtmiller
The point was to put her in to debt.
Ivesaidtoomuchalready
It's ok to put her in debt but not for him to put himself in debt? He's 18 and should know better
Spamamdorf
Making him pay for it is a bit different than sticking him in jail for 5 years
