The illegal exploitation and data breach of the US bank started in 2020 and was

The US Department of Justice prosecuted the bank manager for data breach, theft,
and embezzlement. The punishments for the crime can face up to 30 years in
prison and a period of supervised release. He could also face a fine of $1
million for the crime committed.

“Beginning in or about 2020, and continuing through in or about April 2021,
Schouest exploited his position of trust at Regions Bank to embezzle funds from
customer accounts and deposit the money into his personal bank accounts,” said
the DOJ on the US bank data breach.

were used to make loan payments on personal items such as a house and a car.
Through his scheme, Schouest misappropriated more than $250,000 from Regions
customer bank accounts,” it read.
