70-year-old Esther Freeman invested around $3,000 in Bitcoin 10 years ago, but Israel’s Bank Hapoalim was unwilling to accept her 100x profits. She filed a lawsuit two years ago, but on Sunday both parties officially announced that they agreed to dismiss the case. Since filing the lawsuit, Bitcoin’s price has fallen by around 50%
Almost two years after pensioner Esther Freeman, who made around a million shekels (approximately $270,000) from Bitcoin, sued Bank Hapoalim on the grounds that it refused to allow her to deposit the profits into her account, the lawsuit against the bank has been dismissed. According to a request submitted on behalf of the parties to the Tel Aviv District Court, they declared that “after a conversation between the plaintiff and the defendant bank, they reached an agreement according to which the lawsuit against Bank Hapoalim will be dismissed, and each party will bear its own expenses.” Judge Limor Bibi approved the request on Sunday.
