Ex-Ameris Bank employee charged with routing $931,500 to Coinbase accounts
- —Henry used data from six Ameris Bank clients between September and November 2021
- —About $931,500 was transferred via accounts linked to Coinbase
- —She allegedly received just over $1,000 for her role; the indictment came on September 22
- —Investigators call it an internal access abuse, not a Coinbase or Ameris Bank hack
Why it matters: The case shows the main risk to crypto accounts is insider bank fraud rather than an exchange breach.
