what if she is part of the scam, and JPM withholding the transfer make her reliaze she is cooked?

then all thing she do after is to wash her hand

For less than MYR5mil?

Her celery would've easily been 1mil a year with bonus.
Why risk that kind of money for just a RM5mil scam on her name lol

people have kantoied with far less consideration compare to her situation

it is called greed, something you can't tame

According to linkedin she graduated with acca from Emile Woolf College London then worked for maybank since 1991 until her dismissal

usd 1mil to her is a small sum considering how big maybank is. also, transferring money for vvip for whatever hanky-panky reasons are part and parcel of those bankers. it is hard for us commoner to understand...

Without correct connections, graduate from Oxfoot pun xleh reach that far up.

Even CTO themselves clicked on phishing links and provided the credentials to hackers.

Never trust those C levels on cyber security awareness.

Mana article bos?

Honestly not surprising. This is not some SME. Formal emails will be dealing in literally billions. 1b here 100m there.

1 million is like hundred ringgit to typical company.

Another thing that came into my mind, even if the transaction goes through, her career is basically cooked and still subject to criminal investigations.

So its a no matter head or tail you still lose situation. If she was really a scam victim then she is not qualified to be a CFO to be so easily scammed like this. If she was an accomplice, then even more gone case, no idea what went through her mind to risk everything for so small amount. If 30-50mil can understand la, aduiii...

Either way, she is cooked

Finally had time to read the full article

Edge cited her show cause letter and printed her version of events

The original impersonator had indeed claimed to be maybank Singapore ceo but there was a warning flag that should have set her senses off. He actually like a typical beng scammer asked what's Maybank malaysias bank balance??? She replied in the billions

She suspected nothing during the zoom call but line was bad so they continued on whatsapp. The maybank malaysia ceo impersonator actually messaged her from two unknown numbers not one kek

The recent given for using unknown numbers and communicating only via wa was because this deal was supposed to be secret. The payment was to a company called zhuhai trading limited and was part of an acquisition they wanted to keep under wraps. The messages from fake maybank malaysia ceo ultimately convinced her this was legit

The rest of the events played out as reported but maybank show cause letter also cited some interesting things. She never inform her superior or BNM but only the head of the bank fraud dept
She didn't lodge the police report only a manager in the fraud unit.

And the report was inaccurate because it didn't mention the fact that the transaction ultimately failed because jp Morgan held it.. The implication being she either trying to downplay her culpability or the issue entirely by giving the fraud unit and inaccurate account of the events.

Her excuses abit flimsy, she claimed she wanted to inform her boss about six months later during an appraisal meeting that was later delayed. Using of private numbers were common in the industry

So yeah I think maybank within their rights to suspect something fishy

CFO to be so easily scammed like this

Easily? Scammer will rage if u tink its easy.

Sembang kencang all ktards can la

I also bought the edge just to read this news
Two person from Singapore with Malaysia number are already raising red flags, and both were Maybank Singapore CEO and President
Then they did zoom voice call - could be some voice impersonator
(Initially I thought they were using zoom video call with AI face swap)

the scammer clearly had inside info and attack the weak link

If like what you said, you won't even need group CEO or president to call to send hundred ringgit

"According to the show cause letter, at 1.16pm, the Lee impersonator asked Khalijah via WhatsApp about Maybank's bank balance, to which she responded that, "Maybank's balance is in the billions!".

My favourite bit of the article.

https://theedgemalaysia.com/node/753227

Full article is out. The CFO is really



Firstly, you don't have the number of your boss? You "believe" it belonged to him?



Insider information will leak out if its a call, but will be safe if its in Whatsapp? What kind of sohainess?



So, it was JP Morgan that stopped it because they found it suspicious. But the CFO said.

4pm she sent the money - then 6pm it was stopped - but she didn't felt anything was wrong until almost 10pm, but say she acted swiftly.



Kek, it didn't occur to her to inform her boss someone was using his name to attempt to scam the company on the same day - but waited more than 7 months to do so in a one-to-one? You are the CFO, wouldn't you see the CEO weekly if not daily??

This is the level of GLC top management?
