A former technician at New York bank has pleaded guilty to identity theft and $ 1 million

New York, USA. According to the analytical center InfoWatch, a specialist in computer maintenance of the New York bank, passing a 3-month internship in the bank, merged about 2000 records of personal data. In the next few years, he has used these data for the opening of fictitious accounts, through which stole $ 1 million from the accounts of organizations involved in philanthropy.

As reported by the district prosecutor's office in Manhattan on Thursday, Adeney Adeemi pleaded guilty to fraudulent use of corporate computer resources, and several other charges. This is a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term of 25 years.

According to the prosecution, in sentencing the defendant on July 21, most likely, will be punished by imprisonment for a term of 5 to 15 years and a fine of $ 468.000.

According to the prosecution, Adeemi use personal information to open a savings account at your bank, which he translated the stolen money from the accounts of charities, bank information which is publicly available to facilitate the translation process donations.

According to leading analyst InfoWatch Nikolai Fedotov,"one person (even a former bank employee) are not able to carry out arbitrary transactions between customer accounts. Banks - product of a long social evolution. They are arranged so that even the collusion of all employees of one bank will not always be sufficient for a fraud.

In fact, it is not simply about unauthorized bank transactions. All transfers, as far as I can judge, have been duly authorized. It is a question about a certain unstated corollary of fraud around the foundations. These funds in the U.S. - on every corner. Fraud them invented many kinds. But in order to produce them, the attacker requires dummy accounts in banks.

Payments in cash there has long banned for fighting with the same fraud. And for their opening required personal data of citizens and a little sleight of hand.

Here is one of those suppliers persdannyh to the criminal world, and fell to law enforcement. Typically, fraudsters specialization. For example, he can only open bogus accounts, which are then sold to other criminals.

And bogus bank accounts in Latvia and Russia - not too tradable commodities. Primarily because of the fact that they can not be used remotely, banks used to require a personal appearance before a passport. This excludes many types of fraud prevalent in the West.
