To achieve this, the fish would have created a Pay Pal account and changed the name of the owner’s profile thanks to motion detection software installed on his aquarium, thus giving him control of the video game console, reported the media CNN. .

The whole thing would have been filmed via a broadcasting platform, since the fish belongs to YouTuber Mutekimaru, known for staging fish playing video games with motion capture software.
The fish reportedly didn’t stop there during the live stream and added 500 yen ($5) to Mutekimaru’s Switch profile with his credit card, the details of which accidentally leaked on the internet.
The whole thing would have happened due to a game crash, which would have prompted the YouTuber to temporarily leave his office. The fish would therefore have taken the opportunity to make these purchases, mentions CNN.
