The ORC cases since Jan. 2012
 

$474 million dollars in ORC Cases Reported so far in 2013 with one quarter to go - Identity Theft Leading the Way in the Biggest Cases - With only 3 quarters reported so far for 2013 the Daily has reported on over 662 ORC cases this year, with the biggest cases coming from identity theft. With a 29% increase in cases in the first 3 quarters this year alone over the entire year for 2012, the number of ORC cases certainly reflects a huge increase. Now are we getting better at reporting it and has the increase in ORC laws impacted the nation's journalist in so far as it's being documented by law enforcement now? Yes, both variables have indeed impacted the numbers. But even with those two elements impacting the number we can deduce, that yes ORC has in fact grown over last year. The mere fact that the dollar amounts are up 225% is alarming. And ladies and gentlemen that's just what's being reported publically and reflects what we've been able to prove. So what's the exact multiplier of that number that determines the true extent of the nation's loss? We're open to your comments and we'd love to post them here in a follow up column.

12 Accused In Wide-Ranging ATM Fraud, Credit Card & Gift Card Theft Ring  The US Attorney’s Office has brought charges against a dozen people for their alleged roles in a wide-ranging crime ring involving ATM fraud, financial account theft and skimming personal bank data. The complaint alleged the group’s members used skimming devices (often tiny cameras) to record bank user’s PINs and passwords. The defendants allegedly replicated the stolen data on blank bank and gift cards. (Source cbslocal.com)


Denver man faces 30 Federal charges; Feds say he operated at $16 Million theft ring  Steve Hale, owner of Double D Distributing, LLC, formerly based in Denver, was arrested Wednesday. Indictments were sealed until Thursday when the 64-year-old man made a first appearance in federal court. Local officers helped in the investigation because much of the stolen merchandise traveled through Gaston County, according to indictments. A 2011 raid in Bessemer City netted four people convicted in the crime ring. According to court documents, Hale would give “shopping lists” to other people, known as first-level fences. Those people would then pass the lists along to “boosters,” the thieves in the operation. (Source gastongazette.com)
