I wanna know how he managed to initiate a wire for $35MM online (and approximately 100% of account balance), presumably to a brand new recipient, and only got a single phone call and the wire request wasn't rejected. Maybe things have changed, but my experience now is that I'd have to go into a branch to do that wire, and I'd probably get the normal verification call plus another from the account manager.

Yeah, I also this as weird.

I opened a new account and ACHed $25k into it which triggered all sorts of "fraud alerts" and put my money in limbo for days. Ended up having to get on a three way conference call for the transfer to go through.
