Crypto.com recently recovered $400 million in $ETH after it mistakenly sent it to crypto exchange Gate.io, instead of its own cold storage wallet.
With the public spotlight very much focused on centralised crypto exchanges, it might seem extremely unfortunate that Crypto.com could make such an awful blunder as to send 320,000 Ether (80% of its entire Ether holdings) to a whitelisted external exchange address, instead of its own cold wallet storage where it was meant to go.
This is not the first time that Crypto.com has made such an error. Last year it mistakenly sent the equivalent of $7 million to an Australian woman living in Melbourne, when an employee entered the account number into the payment field by accident.
Given that the Sam Bankman-Fried FTX/Alameda Research debacle is still very fresh in the mind, and the extent of alleged fraudulent goings-on are still unfolding, the last thing needed is for yet another centralised exchange to come under the gaze of the public eye.
