How do you screw up a perfect $320 million electronic bank heist? Gizmodo has an entertaining break down of what can go wrong when hackers try to rob banks.

Step 5: On Monday, when the bank managers noticed around $320 million in failed bank transfers, they alerted authorities, who quickly zeroed in on, you guessed it, Security Chief O'Donoghue. ERROR: O'Donoghue should never have come back to work. Also, $320 million? Didn't they know about rounding up pennies?

Sounds like a Guy Ritchie movie.

(in a British Accent) "What the fuck do I know about bank transfers?"
 
By the sounds of things they probably aren't smart enough to do their real jobs very well either...
 
Gotta love news on failed bank heists for their entertainment value. Successful bank robbery isn't something you'd actually hear about.
 
That story is full of stupid fail. Homer Simpson and Peter Griffin together would have done a better job.
 
Hmmm.. it could have worked if they had makeup to make them look like 70yr old men.

I dunno. Home Simpson did do the Moonwalk but he went forward instead of backwards.
 
since when did using a keystroke copier make you a hacker?
 
"Also, they chose countries that sounded like Bond film locations, and they chose a target—Nomura Holdings—that sounded like the company Hans Gruber tried to rob in Die Hard."

LOL maybe they just wanted to play a James Bond villian!? ^^
 
Coming back to work was only the wrong thing to do because they had evidence.

Without any clear evidence, who's door are you going to be breaking in (and who's passport are you going to be looking for at the airport) the day after a $320 Millon heist? I'm guessing the guy who doesn't show up for work.
