Reminds me of the time NK tried to steal 1bn from the new NY Federal Reserve Bank: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangladesh_Bank_robbery -- they only managed to steal 80mm due to human intervention from a single employee of pan asia bank

View on HN

They were stealing from the Bangladesh Central Bank by gaining access the the Swift system terminal and that 80million is still getting chased down in the Philippines

Suspicions were raised due to the misspelling of the word “Foundation” in the transfer.

Lost out on $900m off a single spelling mistake - probably the most expensive spelling mistake in history.
