The Kingpin of the Great E Banking Robbery shot dead by his partners

The spectacular US$ 45 million global bank heist has already claimed the life of the suspected kingpin.

Alberto Yusi Lajud-Peña, one of a number of suspected ringleaders behind a coordinated and sophisticated global bank heist operation that netted the thieves $45 million in stolen funds, was mowed down inside his Dominican Republic home last month while playing dominoes, robbing authorities of the chance to bring him to justice with his alleged co-conspirators. It is suspected that the killing is related to disputes in sharing of the fraud proceeds.

The total number of transactions booked in the December 21, 2012 operation was around 4000, all in about 750 ATMs in Manhattan within about 2.5 hours. On February 19 there were 46000 transactions involving 36000 ATMs and 12 different card accounts across 24 different countries all within 10 hours. The precision with which this massive fraud has been committed simply is astounding.
