This happened to me back in 2014, albeit with a smaller bill of around ~$10k.

I was pretty inexperienced and I accidentally committed my Amazon credentials to git and went to bed.

When I woke up I had a handful of emails from Amazon alerting me to the situation. Back then $10k was almost a third of my yearly income, so it was a pretty traumatic morning say the least hah.

When I spoke with an Amazon representative they were very nice about the situation and dropped all the charges, since it was obvious what had happened. I'm sure that's what will happen in this situation, especially given the social media attention.
