How can you steal something that doesn't exist?

Rememebr the NA Indians that didn't like their photos taken? Same human brain fade. Actually the NA Indians had a more valid point.

  1. more to story though:

    The attack on Citibank is believed to have taken place over the summer and was detected at that time, but investigators suspect it could have taken place up to a year earlier, the paper said. Two other entities, including a US government agency, were also attacked by hackers, the paper said, citing people familiar with the Citibank incident.

    also, no such thing as russian mafia laDUH. hahaha...

    Moscow, December 23 (Interfax-AVN) - There is no organized Russian criminal community abroad, said Timur Lakhonin, the head of the Russian National Central Bureau of Interpol.

    "The notion of mafia implies connections with political and government structures. I believe there is no Russian mafia abroad in this sense," Lakhonin said at a press conference at the Interfax main office on Dec. 22.

    "Certainly, there is crime involving our former compatriots abroad," but there is no data suggesting that an organized structure of criminal groups comprising former Russians exists abroad, Lakhonin said.

    "Statistically, this looks like this: for instance, Russians accounted for less than 1% of crimes in Germany, most often not in an organized form," he said.

  2. AP the numbers involved made it look like childs play.

    The big hit on sep 11 2008 has been hidden. Yet a small "theft" is headlines.

    Just to get us used to theft from banks. So we won't notice when suddenly trillions have gone missing.
