According to ChainCatcher, a court in São Paulo, Brazil ordered Coinbase to return approximately $100,000 to a user whose funds disappeared from a self-custodial wallet in unauthorized transactions. Coinbase argued the wallet's private keys were fully controlled by the user, but failed to prove the transaction was initiated by the wallet holder or demonstrate security measures to prevent the outcome. The court ruled in favor of the user under Brazil's Consumer Protection Law, requiring Coinbase to return the full amount plus statutory interest.
