But here’s the twist: even if a loophole did exist, allowing this cyber phantom to puppeteer her account, the baton of responsibility, they claim, should be handed to Alight Solutions LLC. After all, it was Alight that green-lighted this ominous transaction.
The Plot Thickens: Disberry’s Tale
Delving into Disberry’s storied past, she served Colgate-Palmolive, wielding her marketing prowess from ’93 to ’04, with her footsteps now echoing in South Africa since 2008. In a dramatic twist, September 2020 unveiled a chilling revelation: her retirement trove had been plundered in a single sweep earlier that March.
The orchestrator? A crafty Las Vegas hacker, who, like a puppet master, manipulated Alight by wielding her personal credentials, cunningly securing a temporary PIN mailed to her South African abode. With this key in hand, he commandeered her retirement reservoir, rerouting its treasures to Sin City.
In an act of retaliation, Disberry swung the legal gauntlet against the committee, Alight, and the mighty Bank of New York Mellon Corp., charging them with a lackadaisical approach that laid her funds bare to the digital marauder.
Judge’s Gavel: The Verdict So Far
The plot witnessed a jolt when U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon exonerated BNY Mellon last December. The bank, having penned the staggering $601,000 check to the hacker, acted merely as a pawn on Alight’s chessboard.
