JACKPOT OF A LIFETIME? Not so fast! Imagine waking up to find 2,000 BTC (over $130M) in your account by mistake—the "lucky winners" of #Bithumb’s massive glitch just lived that dream for exactly 30 minutes! 🤑💸
Here is what went down:
A manual error on the South Korean exchange turned 695 users into "accidental" multi-millionaires yesterday. Instead of a 2,000 won ($1.37) reward, the system credited them with 2,000 BTC each! 😱
🔹 ~620,000 BTC ($40B+) distributed in error
🔹 17% Flash Crash on Bithumb as "winners" rushed to sell
🔹 Trading frozen within minutes to stop the bleeding
🔹 99.7% of assets already recovered by the exchange
The ultimate "easy come, easy go." While most had their billions clawed back, Bithumb is now under investigation for the historic "fat finger" blunder. 📉🇰🇷
