--Fourteen Charges in Precision Cyberheist Case
(October 30, 31 & November 1, 2012)
Fourteen people have been charged in connection with a coordinated
cyberheist that netted thieves more than US $1 million through
cash-advance kiosks at casinos in Nevada and California. The scheme
exploited a flaw in Citibank's system that is supposed to prevent
checking accounts from being overdrawn and involved making a coordinated
series of withdrawals from accounts in a brief window of time.
Ringleader Ara Keshishyan faces up to 30 years in prison and a fine of
US $1 million. The others face prison sentences of up to five years and
US $250,000 fines.
