Global Financial Crisis: Blaming Hackers Coming to a Bank Account Near You to Steal Your Life Savings
Add one more way to lose all your life savings. Many of us have heard about the covert “bail-in laws”
that already went into effect this year in Europe making theft of
private bank account assets “legal” in this topsy-turvy world where
chaos and high crimes rule the day. The precedent was set a couple years
ago in Cyprus where private citizens woke up one day and found the
money they believed was secure in their banks suddenly stolen by the
banks. Despite the Treasury Department and MSM propaganda that the
bailout cost taxpayers only $21 billion, it actually cost Americans
trillions in lost housing wealth, 9.3 million citizens
lost their homes from 2005-2014 through foreclosure or short sale along
with plenty of lost retirement funds and lots of lost jobs.
The untold misery and suffering of so
many American people had insult added to injury when not one top
financial executive ever faced charges but in fact were rewarded
with obscene yearend bonuses. Already knowing the American public will
not stand for another massive tax-supported bailout excusing the
criminal banking cabal’s gambling addiction for misusing their money
that caused the 2008 housing bubble crisis, now the $247 trillion in exposure
to casino-generated debt derivatives created by those same bankster
gangsters are manipulating governments to deliver deceitful backdoor
thievery that will cause the next financial crisis to steal whatever
savings they may still have left sitting unsecured in their bank
accounts.
But
this month yet another potentially equal red alert danger now lurks to
steal all our money. This time it’s supposedly neither the private
Federal Reserve banksters nor our federal government gangsters. It’s the
criminal hacksters who gained access to central banks’ digital assets
and pulled off one of the biggest bank heists in history a couple weeks
ago. I’m talking about the $100 million grab of Federal Reserve
money that managed to recover only $19 million of its lost assets for a
grand total theft of $81 million, still making it among the largest
bank robberies in history. On the day before US Empire’s 2003 invasion
of Iraq, per Saddam Hussein’s instructions to his son Qusay, $1 billion
was taken from the Iraqi central bank. And in 2007 Dar Es Salaam Bank
guards in Iraq lifted another $282 million.
Of course these greatest bank heists
pale in comparison to the conveniently lost trillions by US government
officials’ looting of Iraq and US taxpayers. On the day before 9/11 Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld
announced that he and his still unaudited Pentagon couldn’t account for
$2.3 trillion. Only hours later co-conspirator New York Trade Center
lease owner Larry Silverstein gave the “pull it” demolition order to take down Building 7 an incredible 20 minutes after the BBC repoter prematurely announced it had already collapsed. And then of course Building 7 is where all the Defense Department financial records were conveniently housed. On top of all this, amazingly Donald Rumsfeld,
Secretary of Defense at the time, has the audacity to go twice on
public record pretending he didn’t even know Building 7 was destroyed on
9/11. If lying was a crime, Rummie would be sure to get the death
penalty. Perhaps he and the other treasonous 9/11 conspirators in
Washington and Israel eventually will get their due for perpetrating the
most colossal crime of the century.
In any event here’s what we know about the latest bank robbery. An online digital typo error
prevented what would have become the biggest single bank heist in
history at a whopping one billion dollars! The still at large hackers
managed to navigate past all the security checkpoints of passwords and
ID’s to access the Bangladesh central bank’s payment transfers.
Overcoming this hurdle, the online bank robbers then made three dozen
requests moving money from the Bangladesh bank to entities in the
Philippines and Sri Lanka. The sophisticated cyber thieves were able to
successfully transfer $81 million to the Philippines but a simple
misspelling of the word “foundation” as “fandation” held up the Sri
Lanka transaction of about $20 million to the NGO Shalika Foundation.
Bank officials say that the routing bank – the nearly bankrupt Deutsche
Bank – caught the misspelling error and asked for clarification from the
Bangladesh central bank which then stopped the transfer. Reuters was
unable to even find any information for the hackers’ NGO Shalika
Foundation that apparently isn’t listed as a registered Sri Lankan
non-profit organization.
The
Bangladesh central bank holds an account at New York City’s Federal
Reserve for international settlements. The inordinate number of sudden
requests made to transfer funds to private entities also tipped the
Federal Reserve off into alerting the Bangladesh bank. It’s believed
that the total number of funds requested that were successfully stopped
range from $850-$870 million.
A rather sobering and even scary realization is had the hacker(s)
properly spelled the word foundation, perhaps a billion dollars would
have been stolen before anyone in the central banking system would have
even caught on that they were duped by some mysterious anonymous
cyber-criminal(s) who fortunately for them flunked English spelling
class.
The $81 million was deposited into four private accounts at the Philippine’s Rizai Commercial Banking Corporation.
Officials of the bank were grilled by the Philippine Congress,
underscoring the weak links in finance safeguards worldwide, especially
since the stolen money came from a US Federal Reserve account in New
York. The high profile incident also exposes liabilities in the global
anti-money laundering efforts. This opens the can of worms highlighted
in recent years by HSBC Bank scandal
with ties to the City of London caught red-handed laundering dirty drug
and terrorist money that governments and the terrorism network profit
from worldwide drug smuggling operations that have netted billions if not trillions. Sinister military research part of black ops programs is largely financed the drug money
that our Western governments criminally generate. The corrupt global
financial system is notorious for laundering money through the central
banking cabal and mob casinos all over the world. That fact alone has
allowed the hackers in this case to use the Philippine bank as its
launderer. Legalized criminal secrecy of shadow governments globally
enable transactions into the billions to be routinely covered up.
In response to this case the Filipino presidential frontrunner Senator Grace Poe recently stated:
The trend now in the world is having bank disclosures, not bank secrecy. This is to prevent also the funneling of money down to terroristic activities, drug cartels, etc. We should be one with the international community in preventing such activities.
Somehow
I very much doubt that her current counterpart in America, the
Republican front-runner Donald Trump would agree as his casinos have
been linked to organized crime although he has managed to avoid indictment thus far. In any event, the Rizai Bank accepted the stolen money deposits and then sent them to the local casinos for laundering
purposes knowing that the Philippine anti-money laundering law
currently does not apply to casinos. In last week’s televised
congressional hearing in Manila the bank branch’s customer service
manager testified that he witnessed on February 5th after
$81 million was deposited at the bank the branch manager loaded near a
half million dollars in a paper bag and drove away with it. He also
claimed that the manager attempted to bribe him with a sum of over
$100,000. Meanwhile the incriminated branch manager’s lawyer said he has
emails proving that senior Rizai officers from the main office approved
of the money transfer to the casinos.
Back in February 2013 a Philippine senator chaired the hearing and decision that amended the Anti-Money Laundering Act
applied to casinos after hearing casino lobbyists tout that their
country’s casinos were rivaling other big Asian casinos and hamstringing
them would only undermine the rising international competition that
brought much needed revenue to the nation. So reluctantly he gave
approval for casinos not to be covered by the law. Ironically that same
senator is now tasked with investigating how the stolen $81 million
ended up moving through the Philippine bank to the casinos and then
disappeared. The scandal has opened up a so called black hole in the
world’s banking security as well as bank and casino money laundering.
The Bangladesh central bank governor and two deputy governors resigned
last week. Meanwhile the money trail in the Philippines has grown cold
once the $81 million reached the casinos as the hackers may get away
with their crime. Though security researchers have attributed partial
blame to malware and a faulty printer, the bigger fault clearly lies in
the corrupt global financial system itself.
This business of online hackers cracking
cyber security systems is anything but new. In 2015 the Russian
security firm Kaspersky Lab disclosed that an estimated total of $1
billion has already been stolen by multinational hacking gangsters from
up to 100 banking institutions around the globe just within the last two
years. Last October a gang of cyber-criminals in Eastern Europe
concocted a particularly virulent virus that infected bank records and
drained £20m from UK bank accounts.
It’s becoming an increasing threat to
life as we know it as louder warnings of worse calamities to come have
been bombarding the Western pubic in both mainstream and alternative
news media. America’s largest bank, JP Morgan admitted that last summer
hackers attacked the bank records holding the names, addresses and email
addresses of over 76 million households
along with 7 million small businesses. That’s over a quarter of the US
population’s personal information has already been compromised.
The elite of elite central banksters,
the City of London policy head Mark Boleat said last fall that the next
global financial crisis could make a huge bank and all its asset holdings suddenly disappear in an instant. In his words the bad guys will be:
“… Destroying bank records and changing the amounts people have in their accounts,” blowing up the financial system like a “neutron bomb” as “a bank will disappear, a national bank.”
Since virtually every major act of terrorism in Western nations is state sponsored by the Western government
intelligence community as the handlers of Muslim jihadist patsies, the
latest Brussels airport bombing another case in point, even more easily
planned and executed financial terrorism committed by the diabolically
minded ruling elite could manifest as the next sudden global crisis
blaming an anonymous gang of cyber world criminals for ripping off
everything we have insecurely stored as digital bytes in our local
banks. We could easily wake up one morning in the very near future and
find that all our life savings have just disappeared overnight, and the
crime cabal elite could just say “oops, sorry but it’s just those bad
guys who are apparently doing it to us again.” For years the federal
government has been planning on one of these type cyber-world attacks
causing the next international crisis. With their deep state secrecy,
who’s to say that this incident was actually caused by some computer
geek outlaws or the subhuman psychopaths that own and control the world.
Regardless of “who done it,” the catastrophic outcome’s exactly the
same.
Mainstream
media and the banking industry are pointing the finger at a handful of
hacking criminals, the lapses in cyber-security and the money laundering
in the Philippines when the real culprit over and above all those
smaller players is the global financial system itself. Again the banking
industry is based on debt-based thievery with which the elites have
enslaved the global masses for centuries, so why should so much
commotion be made when a few anonymous hackers rip off America’s central
bank when it’s been ripping the people off especially since 1913’s
Federal Reserve Act. The crumbling bankrupted global financial system
protected by its bought and paid for international crime cabal that
presently governs every Western nation is the culprit behind terrorism,
war, impoverishment, disease and every high crime committed in this
world. Granted hackers can wreak havoc on the globe’s financial system,
but clearly the bigger problem facing the citizens of this world is the
tyrannical stranglehold the elite is imposing on the global masses.
