Mayor Michael Bloomberg's - Bank Account Hacked

Mayor Michael Bloomberg's bank accounts are NOT safe.
 
It was noted that two hackers intruded into Bloomberg's Bank of America account.
They stole huge amounts of money - to the tune of $230,000 and $190,000.  A guy named  Odalis Bostic from Elizabeth, NJ deposited these two checks and they were cashed from Bloomberg's account. He had a buddy too - Charles Nelson. He did an online transaction in May that allowed him to move $10,000 from the mayor's account to an E-Trade account.
 
Mayor Bloomberg did'nt even know what happened until authorities alerted him to these transactions. This is a huge PR issue for all major banks. The good news is that the system worked to a degree as authorities noticed the large deposits and froze the accounts to investigate the odd activity. It should have been caught sooner in my view.  

Jamie"s MOTTO.....

Don't follow the path that is already there....go instead where there is no path....and leave a trail....

This trail is a part of a long journey .....
