Court documents allege that the user used part of the funds mistakenly sent to buy Tether (USDT) and withdraw from the exchange, exceeding the daily maximum withdrawal limit of $100,000. Rhino Trading also alleges that the number calling the account linked to Chai was not Chai&#8217;s number.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>You Might Be Interested In: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/coinengineer.net\/blog\/top-crypto-gainer-and-losers-26-february\/\">Top Crypto Gainer and Losers: 26 February<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Supreme Court of the state of Victoria froze the man&#8217;s assets on February 9 and issued a prohibition order on February 21 to prevent the man from leaving the country. The court noted the risk of disposal of assets and therefore decided to freeze Chai&#8217;s assets and prevent him from leaving Australia. The exchange claims to have incurred a loss of almost $322,700, considering the difference between the remaining account balance of Chai and the total of the funds mistakenly sent.<\/p>\n<p>The mistake of <strong>OTCPro<\/strong> occurred more than two and a half years after <strong>Crypto.com<\/strong> made a similar mistake with a user. In May 2021, Crypto.com sent <strong>$6.86 million<\/strong> to Thevamanogari Manivel and Jatinder Singh, a Melbourne couple, due to a worker mistakenly typing an account number into the payment section of an Excel spreadsheet.<\/p>\n<p>The couple claimed to believe that this was prize money and bought homes, vehicles, and gifts for family members with this money. While the court issued Manivel an 18-month community correction order in September 2023, Singh&#8217;s case will be heard in a Melbourne court in March.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em class=\"darkmysite_style_txt_border darkmysite_processed\" data-darkmysite_alpha_bg=\"rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\">In the comment section, you can freely share your comments and\u00a0 opinions about the topic.
