The Melbourne couple who accidentally received 10.5 million Australian dollars ($6.7 million) will be facing a plea trial in October for a theft charge after spending the funds that they received by mistake in 2021.
In May 2021, Thevamanogari Manivel transferred funds to her partner Jatinder Singh’s Crypto.com account. However, the exchange detected that the bank account did not match the exchange account. Therefore, a refund was issued, but instead of refunding the 100 AU$ that the couple tried to put in, the exchange mistakenly sent 10.5 million AU$ to Manivel’s bank account.
