Online banking bandits pulled thousands of dollars from the accounts
of current and former SemGroup LP employees after personal information
was inadvertently left on a bankruptcy court document made public last
summer.
Nearly 60 current employees and 100 former employees or creditors were
affected by the account fraud, which moved as much as $10,000 from
some accounts into online stock trading accounts, SemGroup spokesman
Lance Ignon confirmed Tuesday.

The Tulsa-based company learned about the account fraud after some
employees brought it to management's attention last month.

"The company notified the FBI after learning the account fraud was
occurring," Ignon said. "At this time we don't know anyone whose
account was compromised who has not had his or her funds returned."

SemGroup filed for Chapter 11 protection July 22 in U.S. Bankruptcy
Court in Wilmington, Del., reporting more than $2.4 billion lost in
oil futures trading margins. At the time, a creditor's matrix
including thousands of names and account information for employees,
creditors and other vendors was inadvertently included in the filings.
