<THREAD>. Chase Bank accidentally debited or credited 1000s of dollars to individual bank accounts overnight, blaming the error on “technical difficulties”. @NarativLive
2. The bank's security was breached in 2014 compromising the data of 83 million accounts. Contact information was stolen and fraudulently used to buy and manipulate stocks and in online gambling. nytimes.com/2019/09/23/bus…
3. Andre Tyurin - A Moscow resident pled guilty to the crime last year. Three others are still facing charges - including Gery Shalon - one of two Israelis who masterminded the scheme. Shalon has business interests in online gambling and cryptocurrency.
4. Who was the US Attorney on the case? Geoffrey Berman, formerly of the #SDNY who was recently run out of office by AG Bill Barr. #Barrgoyle
5. To be clear, I’m not saying these two things are connected, but the 2014 hack is among the biggest ever perpetrated and there's an unavoidable pattern of mob interests so it's prudent to ask just how technical were these difficulties and were they a result of hacking? /end
