as we know, reached an account in the Pan Asia Bank via Deutsche Bank,
which was the routing bank. Intended for a company called the Shalika Foundation.
This was a supposed Sri Lankan non-profit. Now, an observant employee at the Pan Asia
Bank noticed something odd, $20 million was an unusually large amount for such a small
NGO, not to mention for the country of Sri Lanka. This employee then sent the transaction
back to Deutsche Bank for verification. So, now Germany, Frankfurt, the payment order,
just like in New York, was being reviewed. And, just like New York, there were red flags.
Such as this one, spelling foundation as fandation.
These suspicions were soon reaffirmed, and ultimately it turned out, no surprise,
that this Shalika Fandation was indeed a fake company.
The money was then rerouted back to the Bangladesh Bank's New York account.
