The leading crypto trading platform Crypto.com accidentally transferred $10.5 million to a woman named Ms. Manivel in Melbourne Australia. The error occurred when the company was attempting to refund $100 in May 2021 as requested by the women but mistakenly entered a much higher amount.
The error was discovered in a company audit seven months later just before last Christmas. Ms. Manivel has already spent $1.35 million on a luxury five-bedroom house and moved the remaining amount into different accounts.
The company has launched legal action against Thevamanogari Manivel and her sister Thilagavathy Gangadory to get back the money. The court ordered Manivel to sell the house and pay $1.35 million back to Crypto.com
