If you try to steal millions don’t forget the account
It has been published elsewhere but we must add this HSBC article: An HSBC clerk who attempted to steal £72m while working in the bank’s Canary Wharf headquarters has been sentenced to nine years in prison for conspiracy to defraud and money laundering. Jagmeet Channa had sent €60m (£47.7m) to one of Société Générale’s trading accounts in Morocco and minutes later wired €30m to a Barclays branch in Manchester. Channa is thought to have followed orders of fellow conspirators and expected a substantial sum of money for carrying out the crime. But the clerk forgot the account he used had to show a zero balance at the end of each day, so a massive debit figure became obvious to HSBC workers in Malaysia who informed HSBC’s headquarters in London.
We commend those in Malaysia for catching this idiot.
