<h1>Unauthorised payouts due to technical glitch: debit freezes and liens on affected accounts, criminal arrests initiated.</h1> An isolated technical malfunction caused failed transactions to be recorded as successful, resulting in unauthorised payouts to recipients in a limited district; the company promptly remediated the defect, implemented strengthened monitoring and controls, quantified and partially recovered the financial impact, lodged a police report, and coordinated with law enforcement which froze accounts, placed liens, and initiated criminal proceedings.
