What’s new? In May 2021, the Crypto.com exchange accidentally transferred $10,5 million to a woman from Australia instead of refunding $100, Ticker News writes. The error was discovered during an audit seven months later. The platform filed a lawsuit with the Supreme Court for a refund. A Crypto.com representative explained that an account number was mistakenly entered in the payment field instead of $100. However, with the money received from the exchange, the woman and her sister had already bought a mansion in Craigieburn. The judge ordered the property to be sold and the money returned to the exchange.
Errors with transactions in the crypto industry. In March, an NFT collector nicknamed Dino Dealer mistakenly sold an Etherrock collection token for 1 cent instead of $1 million by mixing up ETH and WEI (the minimum ETH portion) when placing an order.
