Overview
- Cardi B, who went live on Instagram Monday, said roughly $40,000 at Saks Fifth Avenue and $20,000 at an Apple store hit her American Express card within an hour.
- Real-time Amex alerts to her phone and to her accountant flagged the charges, and the card was shut off right away.
- She said Saks, Apple, and a Chase ATM provided surveillance images that show people using the card and attempting a cash withdrawal.
- According to her account, law enforcement has copies of the footage and no arrests have been announced as the investigation continues.
- She described the alleged suspects on camera but did not post photos after her security team warned it could hinder the case, a choice that shows how public figures balance online pressure with active investigations.
