I just love the fact that the bank is launching a legal complaint against him for the fraud. I dont know about the rest of you but is someone scammed me out of that much money I'd be launching more then a complaint.

It seems strange…

His lawyer is in contact with him and he says he will cooperate with the police…

Yet the bank says it was a carefully crafted fraud and well hidden so it sounds like it wasn’t just a loss in the day-to-day operations of the bank…
