A Nigerian man who works as a crypto coach with the Twitter handle @Mrbankstips has described how he received N10 million in compensation for returning N100 million that had been inadvertently paid to his betting account.
The crypto coach explained how one of his social media followers accidentally transferred $100k, approximately N100 million, from his stake account into @MrBankstips’ betting account.
After he had checked and confirmed the specified sum was indeed in his account, he returned it and received an immediate reward of $10,000, which is equal to N10 million.
The craziest thing just happened, I woke up to a dm from a follower saying he mistakenly withdrew $100k (N100M) from his Stake account & into my bet account, checked my account and indeed saw $100k in there. I just sent it back to his wallet. He gave me $10k out of it, wild morning.”

His tweet received a range of responses, and several internet users questioned him about how the aforementioned follower obtained his account data.
He responded by saying: “Yeah the guy don ask for my wallet before when him win one of my stake bets last week, probably where he made the error.”

While many individuals were astounded by the amount of money involved, others voiced worry that the account should be reported since it might have been used to launder money.
