Exactly. There are programatical barriers you cannot bypass alone.

I can imagine a scan where the fake CEO gets a phone or laptop outside of the process "because CEO". This however will still be limited to generic, low value stuff handled by single people in a company.

There is no way that a reasonably organized company can leak 40 MM USD.

Yes, but this is due to three people trying willingly to bypass the system, and probably a shitty UI. They knew what they were doing, they just did it badly.


Citi is one of the major foundations of the entire industry, how much of a "yes but" is involved before its standard practice. shitty UI is extremely common inside financial companies because fixing it would cost money.

Oh, please, HP lost some 40 million in inventory while contracted to Solectron Global for repairs, because their inventory systems are utter garbage compared to Dell or Toshiba.
