Where there are banks, there will always be bank robbers. This will never cease to be the case and the banks will always lose money this way. It's inevitable.

So, the problem becomes one of scale. For example, a bank can survive a small unauthorized withdrawal, but large thefts are what kills the business. Limit the withdrawal sizes and shut down everything at a core level when that security is breached.

The ability to move massive amounts around securely is a pipe dream.

Excellent Ideas. Delays on large withdrawals, daily limits, monthly limits etc.
