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

They wired the money to the Brazilian government, but to the wrong bank account.

  That's not really possible. The Brazilian government has only one bank account since the 88's Constitution. It's called "the unique government account". I'm trying to understand that news since today's morning. It makes no sense. Edit: Another comment clarified it. Twitter didn't deposit it on the government account, they created a new account arbitrated by the judge and deposited it there.

It is just the court playing technicalities to delay things. There is an election this Sunday. We don't need Xitter meddling in it.

  No, this is just incompetent lawyers/legal representatives. Every lawyer worth their salt knows how to make a payment to the judiciary correctly, specially when the amount is so high. The judiciary branch receives millions of payments everyday, there is a specific procedure (and it's not even hard) And as for the court "playing technicalities", that's just false. The court literally told the bank to fix it directly (i.e. move the money to the right account). The court is ordinarily under no obligation of being so practical about this kind of stuff. In lower courts it would probably take weeks to fix this mess.

    That's exactly my point. The court could allow X back in a minute if they wanted or take days to do it. It will take days.

      You clearly never been even close to a Brazilian court. Nothing is ever this fast, because courts are handling literal tons of paper everyday and everything takes time. It took me almost half a year to see a money in a case I won, even though the money was already deposited and no appeals were possible. Twitter is being given special treatment in the most beneficial way possible. Anyway, the whole conspiratorial argument is dumb. Twitter is not really relevant in Brazil, and today's elections are mayoral elections. If you think there's any national-level grandiose political fight happening, you are probably in need of a chair.

        > If you think there's any national-level grandiose political fight happening, you are probably in need of a chair. Looks like you are really engaged into politics, aren't you? So many assumptions. I'm as Brazilian as you, smartass. I'm happy Xitter is out of Brazil and loving to see Alexandre de Moraes playing with Elon Musk.
