Bank of Maldives Error Sends $77.3 Billion to Resort Employee
Bank of Maldives (BML) mistakenly deposited over $77.3 billion into the account of a Lily Beach Resort employee as part of a salary payment on Thursday, with several other resort employees reportedly receiving billions each. BML attributed the transactions to human error in a recent payroll processing change, shut down online banking until the errors were corrected, and apologised for the disruption.
