🤦🏻♂️ Sometimes systems built to empower can be weaponized without the most basic controls. NYC’s Summer Youth Employment Program used prepaid debit cards for participants without bank accounts. Unfortunately a bug—or control gap—let scammers withdraw up to $40,000 from ATMs over 3 days. It became a social media-fueled fraud machine that drained around $17 million. The response from the city stressed that no taxpayer funds were lost (yea right) but questions remain about oversight, vendor responsibility, and protections for vulnerable youth.
TL;DR
⚠️ Unlimited ATM withdrawals from SYEP cards
🧠 Cards sold online as “easy money”
🔐 Transaction caps failed despite $200 limits
