Cultural Enrichment In California: Romanian Skimming Gang Arrested

The Daily Mail reports on a "Romanian gang busted for wiping out Californians' bank accounts after 'skimming' their debit cards at the cash register, as one perp billed as one of 'Romania's most wanted' faces up to 30 years in prison." The article relates:

    Orange County authorities busted 48 suspects connected to an organized crime ring using card skimming operations to steal from people on public assistance and ATM accounts at the end of last year.

    Florin Duduianu, one of Romania's most wanted criminals, was arrested in the operation and found guilty in January of two counts of aggravated identity theft.

But how could one of Romania's most wanted criminals get through the vaunted security provided by our Customs officers and TSA?

Many of the suspects have been determined to have entered the United States through illegal border crossings and a lack of accurate criminal history has made it difficult for prosecutors to argue for higher bail or no bail, according to the district attorney's office.

But it gets better:

The FBI said several of the suspects busted have connections to Florian Tudor, the alleged leader of the notorious and violent ATM skimming organization known as the Riviera Maya Gang based out of Cancun, Mexico. 

 The U.S. is just a big cash cow for the rest of the world to suck dry.
