Brazil's top court says X paid pending fines to wrong bank

But how is this possible? Did they get a scam letter with wrong account number?

Is there any chance for twitter to be saved ?

The money was wired to the state , not to a bank, so how is it possible they went through if it wasn't a government bank account

this is not how money transfer works in Brazil, Judicial fines are paid using a GRU (is a type of document that you generate in the goverment IRS site, with the codes that you type in the bank and it transfers the money). If any of the info dosent match, the money is not transfered. IF they paid the wrong account, someone in the goverment fucked up.<p>Source: I was sued by the brazilian govement because my accountant fucked up and had to hirre a layer to negotiate and paied my fees in the course of 10 years.
