A surprisingly large number of SMBs in my experience don&#x27;t have capital transfer controls, especially when the CEO is used to doing financial transfers on the fly. I can think of half a dozen reasonably-sized businesses I&#x27;ve worked with who would be vulnerable to this scam, even with their internal accountants -- a fraudster could call them up, tell them that they needed to draft some five-figure amount because the company got behind on its 401K matches or insurance, and the accountant would think, &quot;Yeah, that sounds about right.&quot; And these are the companies who can least afford to get scammed -- they&#x27;re low-margin companies moving funds around all the time because they&#x27;re scrambling to keep the balls in the air, so a good-sized fraudulent transfer would cripple them.<p>I&#x27;m more surprised that the convicted fraudster is living in an Ashdod mansion off the beach, and evidently the current Israeli government isn&#x27;t interested in repatriating him to France to serve his time. I mean, I know there&#x27;s no bilateral extradition treaty in place, but the son of a bitch <i>brags</i> about what he did -- he doesn&#x27;t even pretend to deny it!
