Crypto Firm Accidentally Transfers $10.5 Million To Australian Woman, Realises After 7 Months

The company has launched legal action to recover the money

Cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com accidentally transferred $10.5 million (roughly Rs 83 crore) to an Australian woman's account while processing a $100 refund. 

The transaction went unnoticed for over seven months before a company audit revealed the error in December 2021. 

The crypto exchange mistakenly made the payment to Thevamanogari Manivel after entering her account number into the payment amount field. As a result, the customer received $10,474,143.00 in her bank account from Crypto.com.
