What happened

The Karnataka State Cyber Command has unearthed a massive network of 42,000 'mule' bank accounts used for global fraud. Satirists have praised the State Level Bankers' Committee for its 'Hands-Off' approach, allowing the velocity of money to reach speeds that effectively bypassed security, oversight, and basic logic. It is the ultimate digital inclusion—where citizens contribute to the global economy without the stress of actually knowing they own a bank account.
