Banks executives insisted that they knew nothing about the thefts. However, internal e-mails released during discovery in the case showed that executives were discussing the frauds and providing warnings. "YIKES!!!!" "DOUBLE YIKES!!!!" "There is more, but nothing more that I want to put into a note."
