Crypto trader who bought home with $10.4M wrongly put into account faces separate deception charge

A woman who had $10.4million mistakenly transferred into her account in a Crypto.com bungle and kept it has been charged with similar offending. Daily Mail Australia can finally reveal the face of Thevamanogari Manivel, who police allege not only made off with the money, but was involved in another alleged crime that netted her a further $11,750. Thevamanogari Manivel in Melbourne Magistrates Court on September 27, 2022 Crypto.com mistakenly transferred almost $10.4million to Thevamanogari Manivel It remains unclear how police claim Manivel allegedly got her hands on the lesser amount, but they have little doubt about how the millions of dollars landed in her Commonwealth Bank account. Thilagavathy Gangadory - the sister of Thevamanogari Manivel - allegedly received this home off the back of a massive Crypto.com mistake The dream home was surrounded by weeds and appeared abandoned earlier this month Manivel's barrister, Jessica Willard, told the court her client did not know the money might have been stolen. Four days later, Crypto.com made freezing orders against Manivel's bank account, but court documents show $10.1m had already been moved to a different joint account and $430,000 had been transferred to her daughter, Raveena Vijian, who also appears not to have been charged with any crime and it is not suggested that she has committed any crime/ The company subsequently took legal action in the Supreme Court seeking to get back the cost of the house plus 10 per cent interest.
