After an US$81mil (RM327.20mil) cyberheist at the Bangladesh central bank, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York said there was no problem with its procedures for approving fund transfers, according to a letter released on May 13 by a US lawmaker who had questioned those methods. 

US Representative Carolyn Maloney had called for a probe of the fund transfers triggered by the February cyber attack on the Bangladesh central bank.
