EFTs are reversible but have much lower limits. To move this much money they probably used a bank wire. This can be reversible if you catch it in time. But wires happen so fast the thieves will surely transfer the money elsewhere before the originator even finds out.
Are the banks not liable, when they don't know there customer?

The thief’s can wire it to an account in an offshore country where US authorities would have no power.
Naive question, but why can't banks undo a fraudulent transaction? Is there no such framework in place?
With perhaps some intermediate transfers to other fall guys if it's a large amount.
The funds are withdrawn in sub $10k chunks by the fall guys in cash as they arrive and the larger portion handed over to the scammer.

On the other hand, I’m seeing more and more legitimate stuff land in Gmail’s spam filter. Like virtually of San Francisco Marathon’s newsletters. Sure they’re pushy and really really want you to sign up for more races and I definitely need to unsubscribe … but I did subscribe and that means it isn’t spam.
One of the things that I assume happens is that, even when people have explicitly signed up for something or at least not opted out of receiving updates etc., they'll just "report spam" rather than unsubscribe and when enough people do this it gets put in everyone's spam folder unless enough people reclassify it. There's not much stuff that ends up in my spam folder that I really care about and a fair bit I don't kno…
I still consider that spam; successfully hiding the checkbox from me doesn't mean that I want the emails.
I report them as spam in the hopes that it will force them to switch to an opt-in system.

I feel like spammers and cyber criminals are getting better. Stuff is starting to get through Google spam filter by mashing up with elements that seem very real and urgent. Like yesterday I got this spam in my Gmail primary inbox with a subject line like "RE: Department of Education Case #295720186". It made me wonder if you could autogenerate filter-evading spam using GANs? Train a GAN to generate email that fools a…
Like it or not, this is the price of "privacy". Being able to easily pretend to be anyone, in the absence of an overarching identity framework -- and leaving identity recognition to the end user -- makes cybercrime a lot easier than it has to be.
