It started with a simple ATM withdrawal — and turned into one of the strangest crimes in banking history.

In 2011, Derek Sullivan, a night janitor from Sydney, stumbled upon a system glitch that allowed him to withdraw unlimited cash from Commonwealth Bank ATMs during specific late-night hours. What began as a drunken curiosity became an obsession, leading to more than $2.3 million in unauthorized withdrawals before anyone even noticed.

This isn’t a story about a hacker or organized crime. It’s about an ordinary man who accidentally discovered a digital loophole and couldn’t stop himself from walking through it. For four months, Derek lived a double life — cleaning offices by night, then quietly draining cash machines across Australia while the banking system slept.

But the real story isn’t just about the money. It’s about what happened after.
Because when Derek finally confessed, no one cared.

He called the bank’s fraud hotline, admitted everything, and even offered proof — receipts, timestamps, a detailed log of every withdrawal. The bank said they’d report him to police. They didn’t. For nearly three years, he lived in limbo — guilty, terrified, and ignored by the very institutions he’d betrayed. The system that could detect a $10 overdraft somehow missed millions vanishing into the night.

When Derek finally went public, confessing on national television, the world learned the truth: a massive security flaw had existed for years, quietly patched and covered up by the banks to prevent public panic. His confession forced authorities to act — but by then, the damage was already done.

This true crime documentary dives deep into how digital banking nearly imploded, how a janitor’s accidental discovery exposed a multi-billion-dollar security vulnerability, and how guilt can destroy a man long before the law does. Through reconstructed scenes, expert interviews, and court documents, we explore Derek Sullivan’s fall — from anonymity to infamy, from instant wealth to self-destruction.

It’s a psychological thriller wrapped inside a real investigation — proof that sometimes, the hardest prison to escape is your own conscience.
