Crypto exchange user goes AWOL after being sent $650K by mistake: Report

OTCPro user Kow Seng Chai reportedly hasn’t responded to emails, calls or appeared in court after the exchange mistakenly sent him hundreds of thousands of dollars.

An Australian crypto exchange has reportedly been trying to claw back nearly $328,000 from one of its users after a huge fat-finger error when crediting the account. 

According to ABC News citing court documents, Rhino Trading, which owns the exchange OTCPro, accidentally credited a user with $653,000 (995,000 Australian dollars) in January — instead of the $65,300 (99,500 Australian dollars), due to an error. 

The exchange, owned by Rhino Trading, claims that after it realized its mistake on Feb. 4, the user — Kow Seng Chai — hasn’t responded to emails to return the funds.
