How a Dog Eats a Pupcake

So there's this blog called Cupcake Rehab which I have just discovered, and one of her recent entries had me laughing helplessly.

It's totally work safe and totally, adorably hilarious. I present to you: HOW A DOG EATS A PUPCAKE!
 

CITIBANK: EPIC EPIC EPIC FAIL.

Words fail me. No, srsly.

Nigerian Accused in Scheme to Swindle Citibank

Swindles in which someone overseas seeks access to a person’s bank account are so well known that most potential victims can spot them in seconds.

But one man found success by tweaking the formula, prosecutors say: Rather than trying to dupe an account holder into giving up information, he duped the bank. And instead of swindling a person, he tried to rob a country—of $27 million.

To carry out the elaborate scheme, prosecutors in New York said on Friday, the man, identified as Paul Gabriel Amos, 37, a Nigerian citizen who lived in Singapore, worked with others to create official-looking documents that instructed Citibank to wire the money in two dozen transactions to accounts that Mr. Amos and the others controlled around the world.

The money came from a Citibank account in New York held by the National Bank of Ethiopia, that country’s central bank. Prosecutors said the conspirators, contacted by Citibank to verify the transactions, posed as Ethiopian bank officials and approved the transfers.

I am torn between *facepalm* and *flail* and BAHAHAHAHAHAHA. It's only funny because they got caught; otherwise I'd be furious with Citibank for pissing away its government-funded bailout. If that seems logically inconsistent, well, suck it. (She said cheerfully.)
