GRAND THEFT
BY
JOHN GANNON
COPYRIGHT 1994
Bob, a college freshman, is working part time in a corporate
MIS department. He helps install a software system that pays the
company�s bills through electronic funds transfer, EFT. The system
can be controlled online either using the Internet or direct dial.
He becomes involved with a group that wants to use the
system to misdirect the EFT payments to their own accounts. The
leader of the group has learned that the system is used in hundreds
of companies and he believes that it could be used to steal millions.
He mounts a campaign of intimidation, that includes the threat of
death, to coerce Bob into assisting.
Since it appears that he is somewhat blameworthy for the
group�s initial breakins, Bob feels he cannot go to the police. As a
result he deals with the coercion on his own. The story follows Bob
as he attempts to get out of his predicament.
The story is about 56,000 words or about 210 book
length pages.
