About what? The kid raking up the crazy bill or Apple returning the money? Not the first time a kid has done this with in-app purchases as the article says. But it's rare that Apple would return the money..

What's criminal to me - is allowing apps (especially games) with that sort of in-app purchase ability.

Almost got swept into one of those games, where the winners were the ones with the most money to spend rather than the best gamer. Those type of games are no longer allowed on my machines...
