Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the internet's-most-wanted dept.

bart_scriv writes "BusinessWeek profiles four individuals identified by law enforcement as the world's foremost online criminals. They're accused of crimes ranging from re-shipping rings to credit card theft and email fraud -- '...all are Russian. Strong technical universities, comparatively low incomes, and an unstable legal system make the former Soviet Union an ideal breeding ground for cyberscams. Also, tense political relations sometimes complicate efforts to obtain cooperation with local law enforcement.'"

    A baby-faced 22-year-old Ukrainian,

    Golubov held the title of "Godfather"


    Every time I read the word "Godfather", I wish Piuzo and Coppola were executed publicly.

    What a pathetic attempt at self-glamorization and self-aggrandizement supported by trashy media.
