A broke bartender found a glitch in the banking system.
$1.6 million later, he tried to give it back.
A True Crime Comedy • In Pre-Production • 2026
In 2011, a broke Australian bartender named Dan Saunders discovered that between 1am and 4am, his maxed-out ATM card could withdraw unlimited cash. A software glitch. A three-hour window. No one watching.
Over four months, he pulled out $1.6 million. He threw legendary parties. He flew his mates on private jets. He fell in love. He lost himself.
And then he did the craziest thing of all: he tried to give it back. The bank didn't want it. So he went on national television and confessed.
This actually happened.
