Argelys Oriach was on his way home from a shopping trip one evening in March
when he was robbed at gunpoint. The thief demanded his iPhone and passcode. Mr.
Oriach turned them over and fled.

The next morning, Mr. Oriach, who lives in Brooklyn, said he discovered that the
thief had drained $8,294 from his bank accounts at Capital One, using multiple
money transfer apps including Zelle. He contacted Capital One, fully expecting
the bank to refund him the stolen cash, as required by federal law. The bank
refunded only $250, saying it found no evidence that the rest of the money was
stolen. Mr. Oriach was stunned.
