Is it impossible to get away with a 1,000,000 credit heist?

I was fortunate enough to have my first bank trace mission account have over one million credits in his account. After I finished the mission, and verified I didn't have any passive traces waiting for me (I did this by waiting a few days in game), and tried to steal it. This is what I did, in order:

Cleaned InterNIC of all old logs, except for the current connect log.

Bounced off of every server I could get my hands on, starting with InterNIC and ending with the bank.

Logged into the bank server as the victim

Typed in my account info and a transfer of 1000000 credits while running disable proxy; complete the transfer the moment it finishes. Successful transfer.

Deleted victim's bank statement log concerning the recent transfer

Logged into my own bank (Through the same channel of servers), disabled proxy, and deleted relevant bank statement.

Logged into InterNIC as Admin, and deleted all logs except for connect and disconnect.

A few seconds/minutes later, I lose my gateway.

What did I do wrong? Am I taking too much money?

EDIT: My process failed even with 1/10 of the money... It seems only bank transfers are doing this, because I've hacked the banks before without any side effects. Should I just try a different bank?

Bank passive traces are damn fast, and you are losing too much time hacking into the second bank, disabling proxies, etc.

So do it all in the same bank, and the same hack.
Make an account there, Then hack into the other account and take the money. Delete both logs, disconnect, and clear internit.

Ether come back later and move the cash into your uplink bank, or make sure you highlight that account in the money HUD before you buy anything. Otherwise your credit will clear, but you will be thousands overdrawn at uplink.

I was having issues too. So I connected to said bank and created an account. Just put password as just one letter so I can easily spot my account.

I have level 5 monitor and proxy bypass on.

Disconnect. Bounce of a load of nodes but the InterNIC being the first.

Go into the victims account, go to transfer. IP of the same bank where your new account is, your account number and send the money. Quickly go to the statements and delete the log with a level 4 log deleter (I think that is important as I did the same with level 3 log deleter and was always getting caught). Go to your new account and delete the statement log. Disconnect, delete the logs on InterNIC. On InterNIC I think you just delete the log that shows you passing through it.

And that's it. I speed up time and if screen doesn't go black, I know I got away with it.

I now have 4mill doing this a few times on various accounts. So yes, it's possible to do a 1mill + heist in one go.
