He was a regular sight at Asia Café. He was the man whom some labeled as the computer Einstein as he was the white-haired Caucasian man with the Einstein hairstyle who spent hours everyday from morning to afternoon ‘working online’ from his Dell laptop at Table C4.
It is believed that more than a thousand students from the SS15 area, which includes Taylor's, Inti, Metro, dan lain lain lagi.... has seen him before.
It was not until a few days ago when his true identity and work was foiled! He was the man behind the mask of a popular online scam that attracted 100,000 global investors. He was just arrested last Wednesday (30th August 2006) by Malaysian police officers for online money laundering involving a massive sum of RM26,679,371.
I’m guessing that you might most probably have seen him before. Isn’t it a little surprising? Many who suspected this harmless peasent to be a mastermind of crime should cash in their money, as many had their doubts, sensing something was not right as he sits there at the same table (C4) working on his Dell laptop for hours from morning to afternoon almost everyday. I mean, why would someone spent hours on a laptop everyday in such a humid and busy place when he could be comfortably working back from his home? Perhaps, he might be just another Caucasian enjoying the tropical weather and Asian scene that he can’t get back in his country?
But the truth was revealed a few days ago when he was arrested. All this happened while he was at Asia Cafe doing his daily routine,working his online scam from his laptop. He was using Asia Café’s internet connection to disguise his identity and IP address so that he could not be tracked down by Malaysian police.
In my opinion though, I think he was doing this for the trill of it. Ya know.. ta see how long till he gets caught.. I mean, if he really wants to steal money for the sake of spending and living a luxurious life, wouldn't he like... scam 5mil and move to another country... then scam another 5mil...?
Wait.. Don't label him Dumb just yet.. Let's say.. he lost his passport or has a fear of planes or doesn't trust Malaysian Airlines or sumthin la k? Give him he benefit of the doubt..
Couldn't he like.... change location or sumthin..?
There are tons of places with WiFi which he could use to vary his IP address..! Like Starbucks or sumthin..
Maybe he feels the employees at Starbucks would suspect sumthin.. and feels much safer with the Seh-ger-soo-gers (Africans) around..
OR maybe he thinks that Malaysian police are jez plane dumb...
Lolz.. Maybe he purposely came to Malaysia coz he heard of the great police force which came to the rescue after getting a robbery report from my neighbour's place which is 800 meters away... 35mins later..
With guns and all summore...
35 minutes late.. SHoot birds ah?
Lolz..
Malaysian Police probably weren't even gonnna bust him..
Maybe Immigration officers came to bust illegal Seh-ger-soo-gers working there, and happen to see his laptop while he was in the loo..~!
This is the news report published from The Star & New Straits Times respectively:
