- Wire transfer the money out.
- ACH transfer the money out.
- Create checks using the account info, send it to a sucker on Craigslist who then deposits it and sends most of it back to you through Western Union, Money Gram, etc.
- Open credit cards or loans in your name. Not long ago they were getting peer-to-peer loans on Prosper.com but it's not as popular anymore.
- Buy stuff with your credit card or a "virtual check"(account # and routing #) and then sell it.
- Sell the information and let someone else worry about it.
If they get enough information about you, they can use that combined with some social engineering & fraud to accomplish nearly anything. They can even get replacement documents such as your birth certificate or license, depending how good they are.
