Australian receives millions of dollars by mistake and spends fortune

What would you do if you received 10 million dollars by mistake? An Australian woman received this amount of a refund, which was supposed to be 100 dollars, and spent it.

Cryptocurrency company crypto.com sued Australian client Thevamanogari Manivel after sending her a transfer of US$10 million, approximately R$51 million, by mistake.

The platform only realized the mistake after seven months. It occurred because of a typing error. Manivel should have received a $100 refund. 

The client spent the fortune without informing the company. Manivel bought a US$1,35 million house in February and transferred the documentation to his sister.

Manivel must follow the court recommendation and sell the property as quickly as possible, in addition to paying interest in the amount of US$27.369,64 and procedural costs to Crypto.
