Butcher Boy

This card may be based on a real program call Salami. Salami is more a time bomb than a virus, it doesn't reproduce. Once deposited into a bank computer system, it monitors all the transactions of that bank. All banks make some percentage from each transaction, and the mathematics is not really precise. For example, supose there is a 1.53% calculation on an account with $1235, you should get $1253.8955. Since you can't really have $.0055 the bank usually just rounds this number up. Salami, as a virus, takes this $.0055 and deposits it to an account owned by the virus's planter. Since banks perform thousands of operations a day, this quickly adds up. In 1986 a college professor, Rifkin, stole $10.2 million from the Security Pacific National Bank. In 1987 a similar virus was used by a bank cleck in Australia (not sure where) to steal $4 million. Butcher Boy seems to be a game version of such a virus, butchering the decimals of the corp's accounts and transfering it to the runner.
