That's nothing.

A law firm here in Michigan lost over $2 MILLION when one of their employees fell for the scam.

Apparently, the banks could care less about watching out for their customer's money. In this case, the employee had a limit on how big of a transfer she could make, but the bank didn't bat an eye when she started transferring hundreds of thousands of dollars overseas.

Note that this was a trust account, so much of the money actually belonged to clients of the law firm.

The last I heard, the law firm was suing the bank for restitution.

• Law firm out $2.1 million
