The TikToker lip-synced to Lana Del Rey’s “Mariners Apartment Complex” to convey that the incident was an accident.

“I fucked up, I know that, but, Jesus,” she mouthed.

The shirt she wore in the video indicates that @qrillo works at Red Rooster, an Australian restaurant chain. In the caption, the TikToker said she was “scared” and wondered whether she was now “a target.”

Viewers in the comments section weighed in on her story.

“Everyone saying it’s their worst fear as if they have that much money in their account,” one user wrote. 

“The fact that he had $400k+ on one card is mad,” another commented.
