17 charged in massive ID theft bust
The operators of a New York business have been charged with running a massive identity theft and money laundering operation that raked in more than $35 million over a four-year period.
In total, 17 people have been indicted in the investigation, which centered on a midtown Manhattan company called Western Express International Inc. The charges were announced Wednesday by Manhattan District Attorney Robert M. Morgenthau, following a two-year investigation by Morgenthau's office and the U.S. Secret Service. Each suspect faces as much as 25 years in prison if convicted. "The defendants participated in a multinational, Internet-based, criminal enterprise ... dedicated to trafficking in stolen credit card numbers and other personal identifiers," the district attorney's office said in a statement. http://www.computerworld.com/action/...ce=rss_topic17
