Identity Theft Crook Gets 14 Years Posted by Pile (5631 views) [E-Mail link] [Get-Rich-Quick] Philip Cummings, 35, believed to be the ringleader of the largest identity theft effort to date, used his job as a computer helpdesk employee at Teledata Communications, and a stolen password from Ford Motor Credit, to pilfer personal information from more than 30,000 unwitting customers. Supposedly the losses are estimated to be between $50M-$100M. In New York, he was sentenced to 14 years in prison. It's worth noting that when the FBI or the American press cover these stories, they rarely identify the companies involved. Wouldn't you want to know which company would let an employee get away with stealing a hundred million dollars from their clients' customers?
