In May of 2021, Singaporean cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com accidentally reimbursed two sisters from Melbourne AUD$10.5 million. There was a mistake with the payment box, and money was sent to the wrong account because of it. Manivel Thevamanogari has already used a portion of the money to purchase a mansion with five bedrooms in Craigieburn for AUD$1.35 million. The problem initially surfaced in May of 2021, but it wasn't discovered until the end of the year during the yearly audit in December of that year. She was warned of contempt of court charges unless she sold the property and returned the remaining funds. In October 2022, the court will hear the matter again.
Cryptocurrency trading is "not suited for the general public", according to Singapore's central bank.
Cryptocurrency investors in Singapore may have to go through a risk awareness assessment before being allowed to trade. They will also not be able to use credit cards or any form of borrowing to trade cryptocurrencies. These are among the measures proposed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to protect retail consumers. A risk awareness assessment is also being proposed to ensure that retail customers have sufficient knowledge of the risks involved. DPT service providers will not be allowed to offer any monetary or non-monetary incentives to retail customers upon sign-up, or to any person to encourage referrals of its service.
