Would the south african bank be held accountable for this? or can they get away with this as the cards are fake/stolen ?
The article makes it seem as if Banks of the ATMs are the ones who lost the money.
I'm also a bit surprised the criminals carried their operation in Japan, It would have been easier in a more messy place e.g India / Africa ?
- ryanlol 10y agoYes, the south african bank will most likely be liable for this. >I'm also a bit surprised the criminals carried their operation in Japan, It would have been easier in a more messy place e.g India / Africa ? No, you'd want a location with lots of ATMs that have large amounts of money in them. In my experience India and Africa would both be particularly bad places for this. LE isn't a factor here, mules may get arrested but the perpetrators certainly don't care.

Contrary to popular belief (and "your experience", Africa & India , has a lot of ATMs that have a lot of money, I am from South Africa, and I've been to India so I know this for a fact.
- ryanlol 10y agoYour experience must be severely limited then, as both of those countries have very low ATM densities. This isn't just my personal experience, but a very easily verifiable fact. I also seriously doubt that level09 was referring to South Africa in his comment, rather than the other "messier" african nations that all have far lower ATM densities.
