lawsuit: Google took three months to remove scam app that stole over $5 million in crypto

Google has been served with a lawsuit from a Florida woman who claims she lost $5 million to a scam cryptocurrency app downloaded from the Google Play Store. Though Google received a complaint about the app from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the lawsuit claims Google took three months to remove the scam app, and that at least five other users of the app had similar experiences while it was available on the store. Google in April took legal action against an alleged ring dedicated to similar cryptocurrency scam apps, which often resemble real apps until users request to withdraw funds.
