TheLocal.fr said Friday many of the bank's 24,000 Facebook followers thought the account had been hacked. When the bank realized followers' reaction they apologized and took down the photo.

True Crime Online - I Need Your Help!

I have a HUGE favor to ask: Can you please buy my newest book or share the link to it on Amazon? Apparently, only 800 copies of True Crime Online have sold so far. I thought it was more. If more don't sell (3,000 are in stock), then there is no chance for a Net Crimes & Misdemeanors 3rd edition. So please, spread the work and buy my book (it's in softcover and ebook editions)
