A mum who cashed in on a $10.4 million mistaken cryptocurrency windfall has been sentenced.
When her then-boyfriend Jatinder Singh told her he had won $10 million and it was deposited into her bank, she transferred it into a joint account.In reality, Singh had placed a $100 deposit with website Crypto.com which was refunded because of a discrepancy in account names.
She was arrested in March 2022 at Melbourne airport, attempting to board a flight to Malaysia - with a one-way ticket and $11,750 cash. Judge Marich also ordered she complete 200 hours of community work and be subjected to a curfew between 10pm and 6am over the next six months.
