Busted - 5.7 Million Dollars Worth of High Tech Gear

If you are a victim of this crime, or a similar crime, contact the FBI as indicated in the URL below!!!

Here's a pretty sure fire way to end up in jail.....

This guy somehow
- got valid serial numbers for Cisco equipment that he did not own
- bought a contract for that equipment
- claimed the equipment failed
- (This part is assumed) Cisco likely shipped him the replacement equipment with a legal notice that he had to return the failed equipment
- he turned around and sold the new equipment on E-Bay walkinf away with the cash

Cisco, and whoever bought the equipment off of ebay, is victimized, and the guy tries to walk with 5.7 million dollars. No mention of identity theft or redirect funds etc....but it's a good bet if this went on for a while that some of these tricks were used.
