Brazil Bank Heist: $140M Vanishes as $40M Gets Crypto-Laundered in Broad Daylight
Brazil Bank Heist: $140M Vanishes as $40M Gets Crypto-Laundered in Broad Daylight

Another day, another digital bank robbery—except this time, the thieves went full cyberpunk.
The Heist: Hackers siphoned $140 million from a major Brazilian bank, then funneled $40 million through crypto mixers faster than a Wall Street exec dodges accountability.
The Laundry Cycle: Tornado Cash? Chain-hopping? Details are scarce, but you can bet regulators are already drafting reactionary laws that’ll punish legit DeFi users instead of actual criminals.
The Irony: Banks still blame crypto for fraud while their own vaults leak like sieves. Maybe they should audit their COBOL systems before pointing fingers at blockchain.
