They refunded him the money, without a lot of hassle. He toddled into a rough edge, bumped his head, Amazon made it better and apparently gave him a lollipop as well and sent him on his way. I think Amazon should get some credit here.
You can't even setup Cloudwatch alerts on your actual spend, the only metric available to you is "EstimatedCharges".
