The hackers breached Bangladesh Bank’s systems and stole its credentials for payment transfers last month involving the Bangladesh central bank and the New York Fed
Unknown hackers still managed to get away with about $80m, one of the largest known bank thefts in history.
They then bombarded the Federal Reserve Bank of New York with nearly three dozen requests to move money from the Bangladesh Bank’s account there to entities in the Philippines and Sri Lanka
Hackers misspelled “foundation” in a NGO’s name as “fandation”, prompting a routing bank, Deutsche Bank, to seek clarification from the Bangladesh central bank, which stopped the transaction
The Bangladesh government is blaming the Fed for not stopping the transactions earlier. The finance minister, Abul Maal Abdul Muhith, told reporters on Tuesday that the country may resort to suing the Fed to recover the money.
“The Fed must take responsibility,” he said.
Jeez.
What the fuck do they do when they get millions of dollars like that?
Surely they can't just withdraw it... Right?

>People work their whole lives to become millionaires when you can just do this
Is there even a point anymore?
I'd like to see the Fed get stripped of as much money as possible. But then they could just create some more out of thin air

Well?

typical shitskin logic

>they worked their whole lives developing the technical skills needed to do this and took on huge risk committing numerous felonies in multiple countries to get money they have to be careful using

Seems like a way better payoff than wagecucking for 35 years to have $3million or whatever at most.

so go do it, you lazy sack of potatoes

You have to send the money through countless channels all over the world to hide your ass.
The story is kinda fishy. Could be some hackers, could be the a government who wants to damage Bangladesh, could be an inside job.

Tbh I doubt it's just a lone group of them.
Seems very difficult to pull off for some lone people unless they had mafias government connections since then they'd know they wouldn't be extradited or much would happen...

Kinda crazy how much money that shit makes.
Pretty insane to think some dudes are multimillionaires off it.

The countries these people are from don't extradite nor do they ever get in trouble.
