The Melbourne couple that mistakenly spent almost $6.6 million on Crypto .com in 2021 is arguing in court that they thought the funds were won via a competition. Does it sound legit?

Appearing via video link in Melbourne magistrates court on Oct. 11, Manivel and Singh pleaded not guilty to their respective charges, with the defense being that Singh had thought he had won a contest from Crypto.com and had told his wife as such.

The Crypto.com account itself belonged to Singh, but the funds went to his wife’s bank account, as he had been using her bank cards to purchase crypto. The firm did not realize its mistake until an audit occurred in December. In March, Manivel was arrested at Melbourne airport, after it was alleged that she was trying to fly home to Malaysia with roughly 11,000 AUD.
