Former Commonwealth Bank worker Curtis McNulty wrote to an associate on encrypted messaging platform Telegram that detectives had just visited his Balmain home.Curtis McNulty defrauded PayPal out of more than $53,000.“They didn’t have a warrant, just asked questions. They were funny, asked if I knew what this shit was… the PayPal crap.”

In another email to PayPal, he wrote that he had ordered a MacBook and iPhone for himself and his brother for Christmas, but to his “dismay” he received the wrong models.
They discovered debit and credit cards in four Commonwealth Bank customer’s names, two laptops and six mobile phones. He told them he began recording customer information daily from July 2021, mainly because “life was boring in a lot of ways” and he “felt like it could make it a bit more interesting”.He pleaded guilty to dishonestly obtaining or dealing in personal financial information, accessing data by a carriage service with intent to commit a serious offence, dishonestly obtaining financial advantage by deception, and possessing identification information.
