Re: [DX-CHAT] What ever happened to FR5DX?
At least one went to prison. Are you talking about Roman Stepanenko? I think it was more a case of stolen credit card details and money laundering in that particular case (the usual Russian business). Last I heard he was awaiting trial. What happened?

Re: [DX-CHAT] What ever happened to FR5DX?
Google Roman Vega and there's a bunch of info. For example: One of the first individuals to create a sustainable business model based on cybercrime was a certain Roman Vega of Ukraine, a.k.a. Roman Stepanenko, a.k.a. BOA (now known as inmate #59198-004 in the Federal Bureau of Prisons), who started a website called Boa Factory (http://www.boafactory.com) in the late 1990s. Boa Factory was a one-stop clearing house for buying and selling virtually all assets produced by financially-motivated online criminal activity of that time. One could get plastic cards, raw dumps (magnetic stripe data from bank and credit cards), traveler's checks and even counterfeit passports. Vega was eventually arrested while vacationing in Cyprus (a popular European destination for Russian and Ukrainian tourists) in June 2004, extradited to California and charged with a 40-count indictment of wire fraud and trafficking in stolen credit cards. Another indictment in New York for access device fraud and money laundering followed 2 years later and convictions eventually secured.
