At Leichhardt in Sydney, for instance, branch staff were at their wits end. The team had been observing continual suspicious deposits, secret alarms linked to the IDMs were going off and machines were even jamming through over-use.

“We have had people coming in and depositing about 5 times into account with $50 notes.. this is just short of $10,000.00 Then that night there is a transfer sent to china for just short of $50K.

professor display both a moral toxicity and an intellectual bankruptcy
that require us to put collegiality aside, and to call out such opinions
