Aman Shah Ahmad, also known as the “one-cent thief,” was a young bank executive who stole funds from customer’s accounts at the Hock Hua Bank in the 1990s, ultimately amassing RM4.1 million. His case is particularly noteworthy as he managed to evade detection for a long time by using his knowledge of computer technology and the SPEEDS bank transfer system to make the transfers.
The “one-cent thief” plans to release a book?
After the one-cent thief was eventually caught, Aman Shah was sentenced to five years in jail. However, it is unclear what happened to him after he served his sentence or if he was able to repay the stolen funds. The case is a cautionary tale of the dangers of computer fraud and the need for strict security measures in banking and other industries.
It seems that up till a few years ago, he was largely seen as someone who disappeared. But he came back to the spotlight claiming that he is to write a book about the whole ordeal. Redditors are not entirely too keen with him as they made some derogatory remarks about him.
