A man who mistakenly received $10 million from Crypto.com is facing jail time after spending the funds. Instead of returning the money, the man proceeded to use the funds for personal purchases, prompting Crypto.com to ask the judge to imprison him. The man has been urged to plead guilty to theft after the digital asset platform refunded him $6 million in a separate incident where he was supposed to receive $65.
The error occurred when a couple was mistakenly sent $10 million by Crypto.com and chose to spend the money rather than report the mistake. As a result, they are also facing potential jail time for their actions. The couple’s decision to spend the money has led to legal repercussions and they now must plead guilty after committing what is considered theft. The consequences of their actions highlight the importance of honesty and integrity when dealing with financial matters, especially in the world of cryptocurrency.
