 I-tunes scammed for £1m+ - Falkirk Bairn
I-tunes were scammed by a gang. The gang uploaded music of dubious quality and then arranged other associates to logon and download the titles using stolen Credit Card details.

The gang netted £500K before they were caught.

If they had not been so greedy and netted say £50K instead of £500K might the have got away with it?

Very clever scam, as iTunes were effectively "laundering" the money they were creaming off stolen credit cards
