·Historical incident record

Incident Overview

About $2.13 billion worth of cash is missing from one of Wirecard's trust accounts, and the crypto debit card provider cannot as yet account for the money. In a statement, the crypto debit card provider blamed "spurious" cash balances provided by a third party with the aim of deceiving the auditor, which discovered the scandal during a routine audit. Wirecard said it is investigating the matter in close cooperation with the auditor. The amount missing equals 25% of the funds on the company's balance sheet.
