Of course since this is the traditional banking system we’re talking about, most of the transactions were either quickly blocked or since recovered. According to Wikipedia about $63M remained unrecovered as of 2018. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangladesh_Bank_robbery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangladesh_Bank_robbery
