Comment on Crypto.com accidentally transfers $10.5m to woman instead of $100

if it took them seven months to realize their mistake, it's their fault.

if the money was important to them they would have discovered their error much sooner; before the money even left their hands.

crypto companies are comprised of infants crawling around the floor drooling on things while wearing tailored suits and carrying mobile phones.

That might be how you want it to work. But isn't how the laws of Australia work.

no kidding. thanks, the mention of the court case and the ruling in favor of crypto.com in the article didn't make that clear.

it doesn't matter what the law says in comparison to what actually should happen, and what really matters.

in this case the law sides the rich, instead of siding against the incompetent people who made the mistake.

that doesn't make the law right, or moral, or even justifiable, it just means that the rich likely control legislation in Australia.

it's still crypto.com's fault, and their own money wasn't important enough to them for any validation in the form which the operator entered the wrong data into the "amount" field. they fucked up, no matter what the law says.

the money wasn't stolen, and should not need to be returned. the company that lost the money (literally) gifted it to the customer by mistake, and didn't catch it's own mistake for SEVEN months.
