What kind of company let's a single employee transfer that amount of money without multiple different password entries or checks from different people though, seriously?

Doesn't matter if they had a conference call with what appeared to be certain people as the article says they could easily have used key pair verification such as pgp. Sounds like poor security all around especially considering the amounts involved.
