Show Notes
Bithumb, South Koreas second-largest crypto exchange, faces a legal battle after a payout glitch resulted in seven bitcoin, worth approximately eight million dollars, being frozen. The issue stemmed from a promotional event in February where users received far more bitcoin than intended due to a staff error. Some users refused to return the excess funds, leading to Bithumb seeking a provisional seizure and potential lawsuit. The incident highlights the risks and irreversibility of crypto trades, with Bithumb aiming to recover the lost funds and maintain user trust.
