From Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" (1885):
““Yes. You know that one-laigged nigger dat b’longs to old Misto Bradish? Well, he sot up a bank, en say anybody dat put in a dollar would git fo’ dollars mo’ at de en’ er de year. Well, all de niggers went in, but dey didn’t have much. I wuz de on’y one dat had much. So I stuck out for mo’ dan fo’ dollars, en I said ’f I didn’ git it I’d start a bank mysef. Well, o’ course dat nigger want’ to keep me out er de business, bekase he says dey warn’t business ’nough for two banks, so he say I could put in my five dollars en he pay me thirty-five at de en’ er de year.
“So I done it. Den I reck’n’d I’d inves’ de thirty-five dollars right off en keep things a-movin’. Dey wuz a nigger name’ Bob, dat had ketched a wood-flat, en his marster didn’ know it; en I bought it off’n him en told him to take de thirty-five dollars when de en’ er de year come; but somebody stole de wood-flat dat night, en nex day de one-laigged nigger say de bank’s busted. So dey didn’ none uv us git no money.”
This is what I remember when I listen such news about hacked exchanges lately...
. Open a bank it the morning, get the money in during the day, then tell everybody next day the bank's busted... Thats it, clean and simple. Not stating every single case is like that, but I suspect the majority is. They should call a police and let them start investigation, otherwise I am sure this is an inside job (may be planned from beginning or not). That's very convenient way to close an unprofitable business...
