Crypto.com accidentally transfers $10.5m to woman instead of $100

The scheme is highly amusing, the problem being that you still have to launder the money. Sure, the keys to the new wallet are available, but how to explain later how the money was earned in the first place (and why no taxes paid then)?

I didn't mean it as a serious response, but I'm not sure there's any scheme that doesn't also involve laundering the money somehow if you keep it.

I got the joke. AFAIK, all comments on this were jokes (turning crypto's no chargeback mechanism on its holders; super-complicated movie-like scheme; mine was doing what the lady in the article already did). I was hoping someone had a joke to 'deal' with the tax office.

Do you see any crypto bros explaining source of their new wealth?
