RE: Crypto exchange accidentally sends user $35 million on $127 withdrawal
or move into a privacy coin and disappear... Crazy situation but have seen it very closely... I recall an employee getting a $3m deposit for payroll by mistake!
Yep though I think in this case they caught it before it ever actually showed up in his account. They just needed his signature before they could fully reverse the transaction. What happened with the payroll mistake?
yeah, but why were they so desperate to get him sign the papers? i think if he didn't want to sign the papers they had to give him the money....and then drag him to the court. Why aren't this kind of things happens to me???
Correct. If he wouldn't have signed then the transaction would not have been able to be reversed. However the transaction would likely remain in limbo, and once the courts got involved I am sure they would have forced him to give it back.
The smart move would have been for him to not sign unless they sweetened the pot just a little for his "emotional distress" during the whole ordeal. :)
