Visa claims teen spent $23,148,855,308,184,500.00 on prepaid credit card
How could you even spend that much at a drug store? I call hoax. Or a hack.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So, have people heard of this thing called "fiction"? That's where someone "makes up" a story that is not true, but nonetheless is entertaining. Anyway, I like this one:
Let Us Now Praise Awesome Dinosaurs
"I want to buy a gun," said the Thymomenoraptor. He moved his foreclaw along the glass case of pistols, counting them off: one, two, three, four. "That one." He tapped the case; the glass squeaked.
"Why would a dinosaur need a gun?" asked the shop owner.
"Self-defense."
The owner's gaze dropped to the three-inch claw that had chipped his display case.
"These are killing claws," said the dinosaur, whose name was Tark. "For sheep, or cows. I merely want to disable an attacker with a precision shot to the leg or other uh, limbal region."
"Uh-huh," the owner said. "Or maybe you figure humans shoot each other all the time, but if someone turns up ripped in half the cops are gonna start lookin' for dinosaurs."
Tark carefully pounded the counter. "There used to be a time," he said, "when gun dealers would actually sell people guns! A time . . . called America. I miss that time."
"I don't sell to foreign nationals."
"Racist!"
The rest of the story at the link....

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I think it's an error on Visa's (or the issuing bank's) end.
