A man who made nearly £80,000 from online gambling after using fraudulent international passports, identity cards and false utility bills to open various online accounts has been jailed today.
In the first prosecution of its kind, Andrei Osipau, 35, was responsible for committing what is known in the industry as a 'Bonus Abuse', where other people's identities are stolen to open online betting accounts and take advantage of bonus bets being offered by companies.
He also used online payment institutes to transfer the criminal gains from the online betting account, opening bank accounts under false names.
more than 5,900 scans of passports, identity cards, utility bills and bank statements relating to individuals from countries including the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Europe.
this appeared in Casinomeister News almost three months ago.
Makes me wonder how he was depositing. I see nothing about credit card fraud?

P.S. Jail sentence for "bonus abuse" ? 3 years of jail for betting his entire balance or violating a max bet rule - isn't it too harsh?
