Bank Worker Forced by Darknet Criminals to Make Fraudulent Transfers

Posted on January 21, 2019 by Dissent

A bank employee in Scotland stole £75,000 from bank customers after involving himself with a crime gang from a dark web forum.

Dayne Lynn, a 22-year-old from North Ayrshire, became interested in the dark web after watching a Netflix documentary, presumably Dark Net.

He decided to see with his own eyes if what he’d seen in the documentary was true, so he downloaded the Tor Browser Bundle and searched for different forums on the dark web.

Lynn joined an internet chat forum, where he made the mistake of revealing some personal details.

Among other things, Lynn shared information about his role on the fraud team at Lloyds Bank in Glasgow’s Atlantic Quay.
