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.
