They didn't make 1.2 billion you sensationalist.

Police estimate that losses from the thousands of credit details traded over the site, Gh0stMarket.net, amount to £16.2m. The web forum, which had 8,000 members worldwide, has been linked to hundreds of thousands of pounds of registered losses on 65,000 bank accounts.
And lavish cells? I ask anyone who has been in a prison in the UK if it's "lavish".

But we still got to give they kids props who just turned 14, I mean how many of us would have thought of running an intricate crime mafia through the internet?

Bloody shocking and they should of gone away for longer. They will end up spending 1/2 of that time in prison.

Scams have always existed, and there has always been opportunities for kids to supplement their allowance.

The internet just makes it easier to anonymously scam a wider number of people for a larger amount of money.

Classic GFY bullshit post

Where does it say they were 14?? They were 18 and 17 in oc 2009! So they are NOW at least 19 and 18...

They also did not even make the 16m pounds (or rather steal)... That's the estimate of damage done by the site. They likely stole only a fraction of that.

They are not very bright either, considering they came back to the UK after jumping bail!
