Bithumb yet to recover 13B won from mistaken BTC transfer

South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb has not yet recovered 125 BTC, worth 13 billion won, following an erroneous transfer of 60 trillion won in Bitcoin, SBS reported. More than 80 people were found to have already cashed out the mistakenly sent funds. Before Bithumb could take action, users had withdrawn approximately 3 billion won to their personal bank accounts and used another 10 billion won, combined with their own deposits, to purchase other cryptocurrencies. Bithumb is reportedly contacting the account holders to persuade them to return the funds.
