£750,000 iTunes con boss pays back just £5 - Manchester Evening News: "computer whizkid who masterminded a £750,000 iTunes voucher scam will pay back just £5.
Suhail Tufail controlled a gang of educated fraudsters who bought iTunes vouchers in bulk using stolen credit card details.
The vouchers were then sold on at a cut-price on eBay and specially set-up websites in a slick money laundering scheme.
A total of £777,278 of unauthorised purchases were made from Apple before the scam was uncovered. The company has now stopped selling iTunes vouchers in £100 units as a result of the scam.
Tufail is serving a five-year sentence for fraud and money laundering, but financial investigators can find no trace of what he did with the bulk of the £200,000 the scam is believed to have earned."
