    I don’t understand how the bank didn’t pay them back and return the frauds as insured.

    Giving your password and account out shouldn’t be enough to authorize a wire transfer. That’s on the bank.

      Getting shit done at banks is hard enough already. Don’t give them an excuse to make it even more of a pain in the ass.
