The crypto exchange caught the mistake during an audit and took legal action, filing a claim in the Supreme Court. However, by then, the couple had already splurged on four properties, fancy cars, and more.
Today, it was reported that Manivel, the woman involved, has admitted her guilt and received a sentence of 18 months of community corrections. She had previously spent 209 days in custody. Her husband, Singh, is set to appear in court on October 23.
