UK: Cybercrim told to cough up £1m or spend years in chokey

Posted on April 2, 2015 by Dissent

Alexander J. Martin reports:

A cybercriminal from Thamesmead has been given six months to turn up £1m, or he’ll be spending another four years behind bars.

Rilwan Adesegun Oshodi – a 31-year-old Nigerian national, formerly of Greenhaven Drive, Thamesmead, SE28 – is currently enjoying Her Majesty’s hospitality for conspiracy to defraud and conspiracy to launder the proceeds of crime.

Found guilty last April, Oshodi is serving an eight-year prison sentence for his part in a phishing attack which netted a gang of eight cybercrims almost £1m of a woman’s life savings.
