Crypto Company Mistakenly Transfers 7.2 Million To A Woman’s Account

Australian woman Thevamanogari Manivel put in a refund of $100 AUD to Crypto.com last year.

Seemingly due to an employee entering her account number into a payment section of a refund form by mistake, the company dropped $10.5 million AUD into her account instead. Manivel kept the money and reportedly transferred it to a bank account.
