The woman, named in Sydney media as Malaysian chemical engineering student Christine Jiaxin Lee, reportedly splashed out on luxury apartment rentals, designer bags and other high-end items after her Australian bank gave her an unlimited overdraft on her savings account.

Police arrested the woman in May as she attempted to board a flight to Malaysia.
Lee, who was out on bail, allegedly spent the money between July 2014 and April 2015.
She had been given an unlimited overdraft in a Westpac processing error in 2012.
Lee realised in July 2014 she had an unlimited overdraft and then allegedly went on a $4.6 million spending spree for the following 11 months.
