Huobi Sends $400k to Wrong User Accounts

One of China’s top exchanges, Huobi, revealed that it temporarily lost 920 BTC and 8,100 LTC – worth about $411,000 – yesterday, but added that it had recovered the majority of the assets.

Damn .... How do you accidentally transmit to 27 wrong addresses?

They sure have very honest customers, but I guess with all the regulations governing exchanges after the MtGox fiasco, they will have all the details of all their customers anyways.

At least they did not say "Ooops sorry we were hacked" like most people say these days, when the stole people's money.

Oops, that is quite a mistake!

Anyone who withdrew any of the "bonus coins" and refuses to return them would be at legal risk, I imagine.

They don't allow you to keep bank errors in the UK

Most likely a human error. Unfortunately it happens.

I've seen it happen on this forum, no one is immune from this, always double check your addresses especially if you're about to send a large amount of money somewhere.
