UK: Student's role in £250m swindle

Via the BBC.

A student who took part in a £250m computer software swindle has been given a community punishment order.

Alexandros Samras, 33, from Loughborough, Leics, took orders from customers for counterfeit software and channelled money overseas.

Southwark Crown Court was told IBM contacted a private security firm when the scam came to light.

The Athens-based partner in crime of Samras - Evangelos Volotas - is still awaiting trial in a Greek court.
