Also, Rockstar Games usually executes account wipes in waves. If you are exploiting the money glitch, and your account is still fine, it is highly likely that a next wave is coming to hit and your account might be included. At the time of this writing, the said glitch on "GTA 5 Online" is still working and it is not yet clear when will Rockstar Games roll out a fix.
