Wagner Society is cleaned out by data thieves
OperaThe Wagner Society of Finland may be forced into bankruptcy after all of its assets were stolen in an online raid.
The Society, which has 900 members, says that more than 124,000 euros was taken from its bank account.
Maybe one of the sister-societies might help?
Wow. I am surprised it had 900 members. Finland is not a populous county.
I share your surprise, Alviano. I believe that the UK’s Wagner Society has about the same number of members, but the UK’s population is twelve times that of Finland. Time for a membership drive, perhaps?
As for NL’s comment that “Maybe one of the sister-societies might help?”, that’s a great suggestion if we remove “one of”. There are about 125 Wagner Societies world-wide, so each of them would only need to find EUR 1000.
RWVI, are you listening?
@Alviano: But clearly intelligent.
Police should start by running a computer search on all guys named “Alberich” in the criminal database.
I had a different thought. The Society should try to replicate Alberich’s Curse on the loot.
…all started mit Raub 😉
I’ll promptly inform my good acquaintance Poul Elming to change Fach so he can guard the treasures of the Danish Wagner Society like another fire spitting Fafner!
A story in there for a type of quest.
Is the bank not responsible for the stolen funds? Has it no insurance to protect its accounts?
If the customer was fooled online, the bank would probably not have to pay, but may, out of courtesy. Or not.
