2) Citi's IT is massively crap. Assume Hanlon's razor ("Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity")

My personal theory is someone inside CITI's IT keeps 'screwing up' because he / she (they?) is a churner and likes to ride the gravy train themselves. But then my theory conflicts with 2), so it can probably go out the window.
