Someone once asked Slick Willie Sutton, the bank robber, why he robbed banks. The question might have uncovered a tale of injustice and lifelong revenge. Maybe a banker foreclosed on the old homestead, maybe a banker’s daughter spurned Sutton for another.

Sutton looked a little surprised, as if he had been asked “Why does a smoker light a cigarette?”

“I rob banks because that’s where the money is."

unknown hackers originating from Russia, China and Europe managed to steal at least $300 million from a large number of banks — which are now aware of the hack but chose not to disclose these losses...

The banks will just add in some new monthly account charges to make up the loss.

They stole some digital notations on a hard drive that The FedR created on a whim. But it is good enuff and spendable.
