After a Crypto.com employee entered the wrong account number and
mistakenly sent AU$10.5 million to an Australian woman who had
requested an AU$100 refund, a court document shows it took seven months
for the cryptocurrency exchange platform to discover its error. By that
point, the transfer error could not be reversed, and some of the money
had allegedly already been spent.

The recipient, Thevamanogari Manivel, didn't notify Crypto.com, instead allegedly transferring funds to bank accounts held by her and her
family. Crypto.com claims Manivel used the money to buy her sister a
modern million-dollar house, complete with a home gym and theater.

Last Friday, Justice James Elliott, a judge for the Victorian Supreme
Court in Australia, issued a default judgment in the case. This became necessary because, as Crypto.com alleged in the court document, Manivel
and other named defendants, including her sister Thilagavathy
Gangadory, failed to respond to a court summons.
