I hope these guys get what Madoff got and then some. I am tired of ID theft, as I know first hand the frustration of fighting to clear your name. I.D. theft cost me more than 15k to get fixed.:mad:

    15K....man that's awful! Credit Cards make me nervous but they're almost all we use. Numbers flying around in cyberspace for the taking.

    However if you keep an 'eye' on your statements you can pretty much catch and contest any questionable activity.

    It's also a good idea to minimize the number of cards you have active so as to better monitor them?

    But a 130 million, yeah that's a bit frightening!

    Pretty amazing at the scale and coverage of this one, however they were working inside the companies technology platforms, so it gets a lot easier at that point.

    The punishments are way too lenient for this type of crime.

    And you think your electronic medical record will be safe ?

    I sure hope they get these guys and they give them all they deserve and more imo they should spend the rest of their natural born lives behind bars, hanging out with bubba the pi$$ed off inmate that never got enough love as a child.
