A U.S. court has ordered defendants in a case related to the 2016 Bangladesh Bank cyber heist to respond to complaints or risk a default judgment. The court's notice gives them 28 days to reply. The Bangladesh Bank claims over $100 million was stolen, with $81 million still unaccounted for. Defendants include former RCBC officials and the owners of a remittance firm. The New York Supreme Court previously dismissed some charges against RCBC but will continue to hear other claims. RCBC maintains it will defend against the allegations.
