$1M Internet Fraud Scheme
This is just goes to show how vulnerable people are to reverse enginereing.. This 17 yr old "reverse enginered" $1M from this fraud scheme:
"'This case ... demonstrates that just about anyone — even a 17-year-old high school student — can mastermind a securities fraud over the Internet,' said Stephen M. Cutler, director of the SEC's Enforcement Division..."
17-year-old Mission Viejo, California high school student was identified by the Securities and Exchange Commission Monday as the mastermind behind an online securities scheme that bilked at least 1,000 investors out of more than US $1 million over a two-month period...and hid it in a casino account...

You'd think with all the hype that this kind of thing receives, these 'investors' would not fall for such foolishness. But that's the world we live in, some people will do anything for the money. I guess there is a lesson in this somewhere
Anyhow, good day all.
