[ex-Texan]

My brother was the marketing director for a major west coast bank in the 1990's. He told me way back then that bank security had been compromised by the Los Angeles mob. This back when commercial real estate was starting to rise very quickly after the crash in the 1980's. He told me the mob had infiltrated the bank and he suspected key people above him had been bribed. The executive vice president was a big gambler and was dropping major bucks at Santa Anita. There were reports about crazed parties on the corporate jet. Typical corporate corruption back then. (It is even worse today.)

Later he told me that a key person was caught with all kinds of fake identification cards (Drivers licenses, fake social security cards, etc.). It turned out that the woman was a former prostitute working at the bank under a false name. She had become very computer savvy. Also found in her possession at the time was confidential data on thousands of wealthy bank customers. And this was way back in 1994!

These stories the mainstream media report about some guy had his lap top stolen with thousands of file is most likely bogus reporting. The cops take a theft report, do not even dust the car for prints and drive off to their next call. What really happened is a total mystery.

The mob is very active on the west coast. The best solution is to cut up all your credit cards. Keep one fully paid off card somewhere very safe. Use it for vacations. Open up a debit account with a small balance to use for 'credit purchases.' Master Card, Visa, and yada yada are not trustworthy.

Probably planned to moonlight in her old profession.
