Biggest Identity Thief Ever Gets Put Away
Anonymous Brave Guy writes "Apparently computer helpdesk employee Philip Cummings had more than just a day job: he's just gone down for 14 years in the biggest identity theft case ever. Lots of fascinating nuggets of information in that story: apparently fake ID goes for as little as $60, and the total stolen over just a couple of years was somewhere in the $50m-100m range."
I absolutely did not see this Cumming.

What I want to know is, when they caught the guy, did they have a positive ID?
Be relentless!
Cummings, who is still free on bail, must report to prison on 9 March.
It's not like the guy could change his identity or anything.
But how much are all of his body parts worth at auction? Kidneys, corneas, heart, etc. Seems fair to me. Sadly still not enough I am sure.

HE's not Philip Cummings!
I AM!!!
Not to nitpick or anything, but Dickinson is slightly west and south of the middle of nowhere. The middle of nowhere is actually in Rugby, ND, which is the geographic center of North America.
And how would you get there? Hidden in the back of a car or in someone's luggage? You won't get through customs. Your passport is definitely revoked in such case.
Yeah, if only he had some way of getting a new identity.
