Thevamanogari Manivel was supposed to get a $100 refund from a crypto website, but a typing error made her mega-rich overnight.
It’s the ultimate moral quandary played out in real life: $10.5 million is accidentally deposited into your bank account – do you board a plane and live a life of luxury somewhere without an extradition treaty, or give the money back?
The County Court heard Manivel had returned more than $8 million and settled with the crypto company, but not before she tried to transfer millions overseas and fly out of Australia with $11,750 cash. The error meant that instead of the $100 to which Manivel was entitled, $10,474,143 was deposited into her bank account.Two days later, the payment was discovered by another person and they allegedly told Manivel to immediately transfer funds from her Commonwealth Bank account to a Westpac account, and they began to spend it.
