Wow I wonder how he accomplished so many transactions in such a short amount of time.
Quote: Police suspect that the cash was withdrawn at ATMs using counterfeit credit cards containing account information leaked from a South African bank.
obviously he didn't walk up to an ATM and keep withdrawing money.
This reminds me of the time a Hacker group withdrew over 500Million from a few of the top banks over the course of "a long time" through taking out less than what the system would register (.001$ or such) from hundreds of thousands accounts, adding up to a fuckton of cash.
