Crypto.com, the digital currency app that was fronted by Matt Damon in a Super Bowl TV ad, is seeking the return of about A$10.5mil (US$7.2mil or RM32.05mil) it accidentally transferred to a woman in Melbourne.

But some of it has already been spent, including on a A$1.35mil (RM4.12mil) five-bedroom property in suburban Melbourne.
