      Crypto.com Mistakenly Sent a Customer $7.2 Million Instead of a $68 Refund

      It took the company seven months to even notice the error and now it wants the money back, the customer kept the money

      Main Highlights:

      • Crypto.com accidentally sent AU$10.5 million dollars (about $7.1 million at today’s exchange rate) to a woman in Australia, instead of the 100 Australian dollar refund she requested.
      • The woman allegedly spent and transferred the money, and now Crypto.com is suing for its return.
      • It only noticed seven months later after carrying out an audit, per the judgment.
      • A judge has ordered the property be sold and the funds returned to Crypto.com

      The digital currency app that was fronted by Matt Damon in a Super Bowl TV ad, Crypto.com, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges and namesake for a certain Los Angeles sports venue, is seeking the return of approximately A$10.5 million ($7.2 million) that it accidentally transferred to a woman in Melbourne.

      It now demands the money back.

      The woman, known as Thevamanogari Manivel in Australian media, did not report the large overpayment to the firm.

      When the woman requested a refund from Crypto.com last year, she received significantly more than she paid for. Manivel requested a return of $100 AUD (about $68 USD).

      Instead, it seems that the firm deposited $10.5 million AUD ($7.2 million at current currency rates) into her account as a result of an employee accidentally typing her account number into the payment portion of a refund form.

      According to reports, Crypto.com issued the excessively large return in May of last year. However, it appears that the error was not discovered until a December audit, seven complete Gregorian calendar months later.

      Manivel allegedly retained the money and moved it to a bank account. In February, a judge ordered Crypto.com to freeze the account. The majority of the money had been transferred to other accounts at that point, but those accounts were also blocked.

      Manivel is believed to have paid $1.35 million AUD (about $890,000) for a five-bedroom mansion that same month and transferred title to her sister.

      The Supreme Court of Victoria has ordered that the property be sold as quickly as possible and that the monies be returned to Crypto.com with interest, which was purchased by the woman’s sister. The matter is scheduled to be heard again in October.

      While cryptocurrency transactions are not reversible, centralized platforms can theoretically reverse payments in cases of fraud or error. But in this instance, the company did not discover the error until seven months later, after some of the money had allegedly been moved or spent.

      Perhaps not so long ago, Crypto.com might have been more prepared to dismiss the return as a tragic error. However, the cryptocurrency market has been in free fall this year, and the corporation suffered a $34 million loss in a January attack. Due to the crypto decline, it also lay off hundreds of staff this summer.

      Bitcoin and ether are both down by more than 58% this year, while the wider crypto market has fallen below $1 trillion, down from $3 trillion at its peak in Nov. 2021.

      So it’s not unexpected that Crypto.com is attempting to recoup the funds from Manivel. After all, it has a long-term arena sponsorship agreement, and some hefty ongoing payments, including a $700 million, multiyear naming rights deal to the Staples Center in Los Angeles, which is home to the Lakers and WNBA’s Sparks,  as well as a Matt Damon to feed.

      The corporation is now trying to recover the funds.

      Regardless of how much snickering this circumstance deserves, Crypto.com’s blunder serves as a cautionary story for Americans who may get money they are not entitled to.

      In finance, there is no “finders keepers” rule.

      According to Alexander Tkachenko, CEO of asset tokenization platform VNX, Crypto.com won in court as it’s a well-established company, but this will serve as a cautionary tale for other companies, according to Alexander Tkachenko, CEO of asset tokenization platform VNX.

      “While random errors occur on most platforms, this one is too costly to ignore,” he told Blockworks. Representatives for Crypto.com didn’t return request for comment by press time. 

      According to the company, Crypto.com was founded in 2016 in Hong Kong and counts over 50 million active users.

      The fiasco echoes a similar event that took place around the same time last year.

      Crypto lender BlockFi mistakenly deposited bitcoin worth millions of dollars to a number of user accounts in May 2021, when the asset traded around $49,000. 

      Staff had accidentally processed payments in BTC rather than stablecoin GUSD. In a tweet, BlockFi said some clients who participated in a trading promotion would see inaccurate bonus payments. 

      CEO Zac Prince said the firm sent a “couple hundred” in bitcoin to less than 100 users. Reports of legal threats to the recipients later surfaced.
