TOKYO - A fish playing a video game in Japan took control of its owner’s Nintendo Switch account, changed the username, set up a PayPal account and ended up racking a credit card bill.

“This is the world’s first shocking video of a pet fish making a purchase with its owner’s credit card,” a caption on the video said. In this instance, the fishy incident took place earlier this month where Mutekimaru was live-streaming a game of Pokemon. During the next seven hours, CNN reported that the fish managed to change the name of its owner’s Switch account, downloaded a new avatar, set up a PayPal account and sent an email about the process as well as read a set of terms and conditions on the Nintendo eShop.
