A woman who accidentally received $ 10 million from a crypto exchange may win a lawsuit and keep the cryptocurrency for herself

Yesterday, it became known that the cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com accidentally sent $ 10.5 million to its client instead of $ 100. The woman did not advertise the mistake of the platform’s technical service and spent the money she received. Despite the court’s order to return the money to the cryptocurrency exchange, the woman is not willing to do so.

It should be noted that the erroneous transaction was discovered only 7 months later. When the woman was finally found, it turned out that she had purchased a mansion for $ 1.35 million for herself and also bought her daughter a $ 430,000 apartment. The woman divided the rest of the Crypto.com funds into different accounts, investing some of them in cryptocurrencies, stocks, and precious metals. Eventually, Crypto.com lawyers initiated a lawsuit to recover the lost funds and won the case.

After several months of court hearings, the Australian citizen was forced to sell the mansion for $ 1.35 million and return the funds to the exchange’s accounts. However, the woman refuses to return the virtual assets and says she will fight for her honor and dignity.
