Tech expert admits to ID fraud

Via the Globe and Mail:

A U.S. man pleaded guilty to nine counts of federal identity fraud Tuesday, admitting he stole about $400,000 (U.S.) by obtaining credit card numbers through fake websites.

Daniel Defelippi, 23, a former Rochester Institute of Technology student who runs Compumasters, was arrested in December for trying to use a forged credit card to buy a laptop and pizza in Syracuse. That led federal authorities to search his business, where they found the computers used to build false websites.
