[What's Burning?]

You guys heard about his? NY Times Full Story There's definitely a cool factor to it. Can't wait for the movie.

In two precision operations that involved people in more than two dozen countries acting in close coordination and with surgical precision, thieves stole $45 million from thousands of A.T.M.'s in a matter of hours.

In New York City alone, the thieves responsible for A.T.M. withdrawals struck 2,904 machines over 10 hours starting on Feb. 19, withdrawing $2.4 million.

The operation included sophisticated computer experts operating in the shadowy world of Internet hacking, manipulating financial information with the stroke of a few keys, as well as common street criminals, who used that information to loot the automated teller machines.

Robin Hood?

[What's Burning?]

Not Robin Hood, just common sense. Manipulating balances from personal accounts would have been noticed much quicker than raising the limit on prepaid credit cards issued by a bank somewhere in UAE or India.

Banks involved will just count it as bad trading losses for a few of their HNW clients.
