US: "Carder" Cybercriminal Who Stole Millions is Sentenced

22:31, April 10, 2015

A court in Nevada, United States, has sentenced another member of the cybercrime enterprise “Carder.su” for selling stolen and counterfeit credit cards via the internet.

Carder.su was an internet forum where cybercriminals could exchange their knowledge of criminal scams and circulate stolen and counterfeit ID documents and credit card information. The online enterprise was Russian-led and emerged in 2005. It was shut down by US law enforcement in 2010.

Thursday’s verdict came after Jermaine Smith, 34, from New Jersey in the US, pleaded guilty to taking part in a racketeering operation trading in fake ID documents back in October 2014. He was sentenced to 12-and-a-half years in federal prison and ordered to pay US$ 50.8 million in restitution.
