A Turkish national, Ercan Findikoglu, plead guilty in New York today for computer intrusion conspiracy, access device fraud conspiracy, and effecting transactions with unauthorized access devices. See article here....https://www.justice.gov/usao-edny/pr/leader-global-cybercrime-campaigns-pleads-guilty-computer-intrusion-and-access-device
According to the article, in one day, his crew went to ATM'S in New York and collected $2.4 million from nearly 3,000 ATM withdrawals over the course of less than 11 hours.
He was the organizer and leader of stealing debit cards and pin numbers. He faces many years behind bars when he is sentenced.
How did they track this person down? The article does not say. I guess this is their "ancient chinese secret".
If he fully cooperates and takes down bigger fish, that may reduce his sentence.
I had a former Turkish client who swiped my check book off my table and stole a few thousand dollars based on forged checks. I did get my money back from Citibank. This was back in the mid 90's. I am not saying all Turks are bad. There are good and bad in all nationalities. Just some have sticky fingers and insatiable greed.
To see what he can expect in prison, see my story at.....http://www.amazon.com/PRISON-expect-Federal-Bureau-Prisons-ebook/dp/B011GTWLOG
