and how about when the bank tellers can't be trusted?

Ring members posed as tellers to cheat S. Florida banks of $1.6 million
WEST PALM BEACH -- In less than a year, members of a large South Florida fraud ring bilked three banks out of $1.6 million by getting hired as bank tellers and issuing fake checks from accounts with large balances, investigators said.
Delray Beach police, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the FBI joined together nearly two years ago to stop the operation. On Thursday, they announced the arrests of 15 people.

Investigators said First Union banks in Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties suffered the worst losses -- about $1 million -- from July 1998 to March 1999. Other targeted banks were Washington Mutual and NationsBank.

"We think it's a real important case from the standpoint that these people had the ability to carry this on and recruit others," said Michael Washam, FDLE special agent supervisor for the West Palm Beach office. "This many people is highly unusual."
