A teen's $54K bar tab on his dad's credit card is making news around the globe. On May 29, News.com reported that a 16-year-old kid from Japan and his friend took his dad's credit card and bought some pretty expensive booze back in 2010. Perhaps the craziest part is that a judge just ruled that the teen doesn't have to pay any of the money back.

"The 16-year-old and his friend took his father's platinum American Express card around luxury nightspots in the ancient capital of Kyoto, quaffing whisky and sparkling wine at up to 380,000 yen ($3,700) per bottle, Japanese media said" (via News.com).

The teen's $54K bar tab included alcohol and entrance into "swanky clubs" where he and his friend were surrounded by "attractive women." A judge placed the blame on the bar/club owners and the credit card company so the majority of the money spent is just going to be eaten by American Express apparently.
