How can 2.6 Billion birr vanish into the ether!

Post by sesame » 18 Mar 2024, 09:54

Some reports are saying that the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia lost 2.6 billion birr in a few hours of cyber robbery! It is not much in dollars but still it is a huge loss for Ethiopia. My question: Where has this money gone? Shimelis Abdissa and other Oromo gangsters? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Brother sesame, the latest word from the bank authorities is that it was not a cyber attack but a "system failure". Because the people who took the money away (stole), were using the ATM to access the bonanza, chances are they will be identified and caught and return the money they stole less whatever they may have already spent. That was my understanding.
