A 12-year-old Chinese boy isn't old enough to open a bank account, yet he made $120,000 from a small game on Google Play. Meanwhile, his school is still teaching how to use Microsoft Word. He set up two monitors, built the game in one night using ChatGPT, coding on camera while narrating his process, then posted the recording to Bilibili — it got 30,000 views. Because he was too young to have a bank card or developer account, his dad submitted the app on his behalf, signing wherever his son pointed without writing a single word himself. The game was priced at $0.99, earned $7,000 in its first month, and by month twelve was consistently pulling in over $10,000 a month — all built in the gaps between homework and dinner. What Google paid a senior engineer $300,000 to do, he pulled off in three hours. His teacher even gave him extra credit and put it up on the bulletin board. A 31-year-old contractor in Hong Kong slowed the video down to 0.25x speed, copied the code, and repurposed the game's 15-minute countdown timer into a Bitcoin auto-trading timer that executed a trade every 15 minutes. Six months later, the contractor's trading wallet showed $868,000 in profit. He posted a screenshot in a developer group: "I stole a 12-year-old's homework, and the market paid me $4,696 on Tuesday morning." The story spread to Twitter, and within four hours people had confirmed that the trading intervals matched the kid's game timer exactly.
