This is an interesting article on how authorities caught Abraham Abdallah, who is accused of forging the identities of, and stealing millions of dollars from, a long list of celebrities including Spielberg, Lucas, Winfrey, Perot, Soros, Icahn, Ellison, Geffen, and more. The crime relied on technologies that didn’t exist a few years ago, such as virtual voice mail and free web-based email, and yet the police relied on old-world techniques (staking out PO boxes, impersonating couriers) to finally make an arrest. Thanks to Bruce Schneier’s Crypto-Gram for the link.

I bet this story ends up on the big screen before too long.
