Bithumb crypto exchange which is based on Japan was running a promotion where 600 users would win prizes ranging from $1 to $10 each. But they somehow accidentally sent 1000 bitcoins to each person.

Interestingly, they never realized the mistake for 35 minutes. And some of the users were able to sell over $150million worth of Bitcoin.
Only 99.7% of the money was recovered. About $150 million was lost.

What will you do if you were one of the few that quickly discovered the error?

Will you return the money you have withdrawn?

South Korean crypto firm accidentally sends $44 billion in bitcoins to users

By Reuters

SEOUL, Feb 7 (Reuters) - South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb said on Saturday it had accidentally given away more than $40 billion worth of bitcoins to customers as promotional rewards, triggering a sharp selloff on the exchange.

Bithumb apologised for the mistake, which took place on Friday, and said it had recovered 99.7% of the 620,000 bitcoins, worth about $44 billion at current prices. It had restricted trading and withdrawals for the 695 affected customers within 35 minutes of the erroneous distribution on Friday.

The exchange had planned to distribute small cash rewards of 2,000 Korean won ($1.40) or more to each user as part of a promotional event, but winners received at least 2,000 bitcoins each instead, media reports said.

"We would like to make it clear that this incident is unrelated to external hacking or security breaches, and there are no problems with system security or customer asset management," Bithumb said in a statement.

But South Korea's financial regulators, including the Financial Services Commission, said the incident "has exposed the vulnerabilities and risks of virtual assets."

After an emergency meeting, the regulators said in a statement they would launch an on-site inspection of Bithumb and other crypto exchanges if irregularities are found during reviews of their internal control systems, as well as their holdings and operations of virtual assets.

I am suspecting that the staff or management used this as an excuse to steal some money. The mistake does not make sense

those that were able to withdraw part of the money will close their accounts and not care. But this your plan get as e be. You no go fit carry that kind work load.

I wish this happen to me, I will just disappear

i nor see my own ooo, i don check my wallet . how i wish i dey use the wallet before

Ha! Some people lives don change overnight

Make i go check my wallet first

They tried. 150 mill Doolars is a fraction

I pity the person responsible for the mistake

you know this is fake news

the amount was $136m

Omo people don cashout..see my dream

Since bitcoin is marketed as untraceable and unaccountable how will they recover the money, a bank can easily do it but a bitcoin firm can't.

They should send for Nigeria's EFCC to assist them in the investigation

For someone like me who has unforgettable memories of my childhood in Obalende, I am surprised.
Boys grew up taking turns on girls who were willing to have consensual rounds from Ajeniya Street to Odo Street.
