She must have exported the "Juja Hackers" to ZW to pull this heist :-)Â
It is interesting that the title is Kenyan businesswoman and not Kenyan Woman IT specialist. Clearly, the IT skills are more valuable than the "business" skills required for such an operation.
But that story points, IMHO, to either a weak regulatory framework or a lack of monitoring by the CBZ. How can $120m be moving without being flagged? BTW, is that Zimbabwean Dollars or US Dollars?
