Crypto.com user who mistakenly received a $6.80 million refund and spent it privately jailed for three years

An Australian man has been jailed for three years after he unexpectedly received a multi-million dollar refund from Crypto.com for significant other, it was reported on August 13. Jatinder Singh, 39, pleaded guilty to stealing $4.40 million at Victoria County Court and was sentenced. In May 2021, Singh tried to use his significant other bank account to deposit $65 into Crypto.com account, but was rejected for name discrepancies, which was refunded 10.47 million Australian dollars (about $6.80 million) due to a major accounting error by an employee. Singh then transferred the funds into the couple's joint account and made significant consumption.
