N553m is alot of money.

How come within a month of her employment...I'm not sure if this can be possible. Even a state Governor will not steal that such of huge amount within a month.

Half a billion is too much money to be left in the hands of a new employee. How was the theft done? Was the money in cash? If yes, am guessing she rented a bullion van for transporting it.
The whole story is unbelievable.

Sit bck and enjoy the bashing from East side

This doesn't make sense.

Did she hack their server?
Met people in that area shop with cash only?

What of the account dept thst closes biz transactions everyday?
Why didn't they see the anomaly the fist day I happened and bring her in for questioning?
I thing if it's tru,it's not a one man job.
Account head and his members have a case to answer
