GTA 5 player asks Rockstar for $75k refund, gets $32 million instead
GTA 5 requires a massive amount of in-game cash. From sports cars to condos, fledgling business to military-grade weapons, if you want it, you can have it – you just need the moolah.

“I have absolutely no idea how this could even happen,” Skraelos continues. “I actually don’t plan on touching the money, just in case Rockstar notices and decides to deduct that amount from me.”
