Victorian man vanishes after receiving about $500,000 in cryptocurrency account error. A Mildura man has vanished, after allegedly pocketing about half a million dollars when a cryptocurrency trading platform accidentally added an extra zero to his account. Cryptocurrency trading platform Rhino Trading Pty Ltd, which operates the website OTCPro, applied to the Victorian Supreme Court for the man's assets to be frozen and for an order preventing him from leaving the country after he failed to respond to requests to return the money. Cryptocurrency is a digital currency that allows people to make payments directly to each other through an online system. Transactions are verified through a decentralised ledger known as a blockchain rather than by banks. Court records show that on January 25, 2024, OTCPro received a $99,500 deposit from 37-year-old Mildura man Kow Seng Chai through an account set up by his business Lotte Enterprise Pty Ltd. When the company credited Mr Chai's trading account in the exchange, it mistakenly added a zero to the amount, crediting him with $995,000, not $99,500. The company did not pick up the error until February 4........ ID: 2133038 · Reply Quote
