I am actually writing a book about a fictionalized version of a cyber crime that potentially could be easy to pull off.
The town next to mine has a big rodeo every 4th of July. They pull all the stops out for the 4th and get a lot of visitors during the 2nd-5th of July.
Because of all of this they decided to ask the Department of Homeland Security for money. Their claim was that all of these functions are potential terrorist targets. They ended up getting $8.5 million dollars for various projects that covered everything from building barriers to upgrading facilities to training and paying for part time help during those days.
That money basically sat in an account that a few different people from the city had access to and they did transfers as needed to pay for bills.
So, if you had a situation like that it would have been very simple for one of these people to wire that money to an offshore account and disappear with it. My story is about a couple of guys who try to pull this off.
