The Toronto-based exchange targets 50 users, who capitalized on the vulnerability of the exchange’s payment mechanism. Cryptocurrency exchange Binance was also involved in the case, as users sold crypto on the platform.
The document says that in 2020, Coinberry upgraded its software, adding support for purchasing bitcoin with Interac e-Transfer, a Canadian funds transfer service. The lawsuit says around 500 users used the glitch to get crypto for free: they put buy orders via Interac, got crypto, canceled the purchase order and saved their money. So far, Coinberry succeeded to recover 37 BTC.
