Given that he was embezzling bank funds to funnel into a fake crypto scam, and the people who those funds belonged to were not in fact the bank, and the article suggests those people were not made whole, I'm just gonna say that it's not about the bank, it's about the people who lost shit like their life savings to this a-hole.
It sounds like no customer with the bank lost anything. Only investors who I assume are well off anyways.
That's still 47 million of everyone's money that could have been better spent
Yeah, that's 47 million in tax payer dollars. So instead of stealing millions from a few people, it's pennies from millions of people. Definitely a lot of better things that money could have gone to.
