Where does it say that each culprit had to pay $400K? The article only says this dude had to pay $400K. Not event that "some had to pay 400K". I also doubt they divided the pie evenly.

Imagine how much more impressed you would be if you had done the math correctly: it is 19 people (not 18) and since the total amount scammed was 200 MM, the per person share would 10.5 MM, not 1.1 MM. And, he only has to repay 400K, which means he gets to enjoy the other 10 MM. That's 5 MM per year to sit in prison (or, at home) which is a GREAT deal. As you said, where do I sign up??

Probably flipped and cut a deal.... I would not be surprised if they were laundering money for some terror groups.
Very light sentence and for this to get settled this number of years later? Does not sound like it was a jury trial. Then of course the original AP Trenton story may have been butchered by Wash Times to fit in a small part of printed paper. Quote:

$200 million divide by 18 = about 1.1 million each with some having to repay $400,000 leaving 700,000 each at the cost of 2 years prison or home detention
That's 350,000 a year to sit in prison .... where do I sign up!

Jewelry store owner sentenced for role in fake ID scamTHE WASHINGTON TIMES - - Associated Press - Wednesday, November 30, 2016 TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - A New Jersey jewelry store owner who helped create thousands of fake identities as part of a $200 million credit card scheme has been sentenced to two years in prison. Vinod Dadlani was sentenced on Wednesday after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit bank fraud in June 2014. He is one of 19 people to admit their roles in the scheme. Prosecutors say Dadlani let conspirators involved in the plot to swipe cards that didn’t belong to them at his Jersey City store. He then split the proceeds of the transaction. Dadlani was also sentenced to two years of supervised release and ordered to forfeit more than $400,000. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2 ... ced-for-role-in-fake-id-/

Leader of $200M credit card fraud scheme sentencedBy TRENTON — The defendants allegedly wired millions of dollars to Pakistan, India, the United Arab Emirates, China and other countries once the "sophisticated, organized" $200 million credit card scheme began, authorities say. At least 22 men and women living in the New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania region — many having ethnic ties to Pakistan — allegedly conspired to defraud banks and credit lenders for more than nine years in what U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman has called one of the largest credit card frauds ever prosecuted by the Department of Justice. The conspirators allegedly used 7,000 fake identities, 1,800 phony mailing addresses, fake companies, collusive merchants, and 25,000 fraudulent credit cards, according to authorities, all in an effort to help "pump up" credit lines based on false information, before "running up" large loans that were not repaid.

Jersey City jewelry store owner pleads guilty to his role in $200 million fraud
By Michaelangelo Conte/The Jersey Journal June 18, 2014 at 6:08 PM The owner of a Jersey City jewelry store pleaded guilty today to his role in a sophisticated international credit card fraud ring responsible for more than $200 million in losses to businesses and financial institutions, officials said. Vinod Dadlani, 51, of Lyndhurst, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud before U.S. District Judge Anne E. Thompson in Trenton today and he faces a maximum potential penalty of 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine, or twice the gain or loss caused by the offense, New Jersey U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced. Fishman said Dadlani, who owned Tanishq Jewels on Newark Avenue, is the 17th person to plead guilty to participating in the scheme, which was one of the largest credit card fraud schemes ever prosecuted by the Department of Justice. The scheme involved the creation of more than 7,000 false identities by creating fraudulent identification documents and fraudulent credit profiles with major credit bureaus. Participants would then ?pump up? the credit of the fake identities using false credit worthiness information and would then borrow or spend as much as they could and never repay the debts, according to court documents and statements made in court. The elaborate network of false identities used by the conspirators required them to maintain more than 1,800 ?drop addresses,? including houses, apartments and post office boxes across the country, which they used as the mailing addresses for the false identities, according to court documents and statements in court. In court, Dadlani admitted working with other conspirators who came to his jewelry store and allowed them to swipe cards he knew did not legitimately belong to them. Dadlani would then split the proceeds of the phony transactions with the conspirators, according to court documents and statements made in court. The owners of two other jewelry stores on the same block of Newark Avenue were also charged in the conspiracy but the outcome of their prosecutions was not immediately available. Dadlani is scheduled for sentencing by Thompson on Sept. 24 http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/20 ... n_fraud.html#incart_river

Okay let me correct myself. If they are not citizens, they should be deported back to India or Pakistan, wherever they are from (the star ledger said that majority are from Pakistan.)
This is the link to the FBI site where they have published the names. http://www.fbi.gov/newark/press-relea ... on-credit-card-fraud-scam" rel="noopener external" title="">FBI link

Please do not type in ALL CAPS. It's the equivalent of shouting and very impolite. Also makes it very hard to read.

Its now being called the "Biggest Credit Card Fraud Case in U.S. History"! Here is the F.B.I. website link:http://www.fbi.gov/newark/press-relea ... on-credit-card-fraud-scam
Where you can find such GEMS ( see what I did there?) as this quote:...."Records of the New York and New Jersey Departments of Labor reveal that many of the defendants have no reported legitimate employment in the last five years. Nonetheless, the defendants used the proceeds of the criminal enterprise to buy luxury automobiles, electronics, spa treatments, expensive clothing, and millions of dollars in gold. They also stockpiled large sums of cash. Law enforcement discovered approximately $70,000 in cash in the oven of one defendant.".....

18 charged in Jersey City-based credit card fraud ring that stole $200 million: feds
By Michaelangelo Conte/The Jersey Journal February 05, 2013 at 12:55 PM NEWARK -- A sophisticated international credit card fraud ring based in Jersey City stole more than $200 million, federal authorities said today in announcing the arrest of 18 people, who face up to 30 years in prison. "This type of fraud increases the cost of doing business for every American consumer, every day," United State Attorney for New Jersey Paul Fishman said of the allegations that resulted in the arrest of Nasreen Aktar, 37, of Jersey City, and 17 others. Fishman announced the unsealing of the indictment at a news conference in Newark this morning. The scheme spanned 28 states and eight countries, officials said, adding that the investigation is ongoing and more arrests are possible. When asked if the ring was headquartered in Jersey City, Fishman said "I think that's fair to say." Fishman said Ashu Jewels, Tanishq Jewels and Raja Jewels, all on the same block of Newark Avenue in Jersey City, participated in the ring. All three jewelry stores have been closed by federal authorities and a large amount of inventory has been seized. In April 2011, feds and Jersey City police raided the stores. The ring allegedly made 25,000 fake credit cards by using roughly 7,000 false identities and hundreds of fake drivers' licenses to open the accounts. The ring would then build up the credit rating and the borrowing limit of the cardholder by using various fraudulent methods before maxing out the cards and leaving the credit card companies with the unpaid balances. There were 13 arrests made and search warrants were executed today, Fishman said, adding that four defendants were arrested previously and three of those have already pleaded guilty. http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/20 ... ty-base.html#incart_river

FBI's search of three jewelry stores in Jersey City's India Square section said to be a part of investigation related to money-laundering and fraud, but officials aren't commenting and no arrests have been reported
Friday, April 08, 2011 By TERRENCE T. McDONALD JOURNAL STAFF WRITER A day after the FBI conducted a search of three India Square jewelry stores, only one of the shops was open for business yesterday. The search, which a source says was part of an investigation of a credit-card fraud and money-laundering scam, had India Square a-buzz Wednesday with speculation that was little resolved a day later. Ashu Jewelers and Raja Jewelers remained closed and the owner of Nikita's Inc. was mum. Dozens of FBI agents and Jersey City Police Department officers descended on India Square Wednesday afternoon to search the three businesses, setting up operations in the neighborhood until about 9 p.m., according to a witness. The FBI said little about the operation other than to say they executed a search warrant. Wallace Zynchenko, 52, owns the three-story apartment building that is also home, on the ground floor, to Raja Jewelers. Zynchenko said he hasn't heard from the store's owner since before the FBI's raid. Zynchenko said the FBI told him they searched the three jewelry stores for an investigation "about money laundering." Agents told him the owner of Raja Jewelers was not under arrest, he said. Zynchenko is worried about what may happen because of the federal investigation. He relies on Raja Jewelers for income, he said. "I live month-to-month. His rent pays my mortgage," he said. A woman who works at Nikita's Inc. said the owner was not available for comment.

FIRST OF ALL YOU SHOULDNT ASSUME THINGS BECAUSE OF AN ARTICLE. IT WAS AN INQUIRY REGARDING AN INVESTIGATION. AND IF YOU READ THE ARTICLE CORRECTLY IT SAYS POSSIBLE CREDIT CARD FRAUD. KEY WORD BEING POSSIBLE. IT WAS JUST A SEARCH. IF THEY HAD ACTUALLY DONE SOMETHING WRONG THEIR BUSINESSES WOULD BE SHUT DOWN FOR GOOD AND THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN ARRESTED AND THAT DIDNT HAPPEN. IF YOU ARE SO CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED, WALK INTO ONE OF THOSE STORES AND ASK THEM. STOP ASSUMING THINGS AND RUINING REPUTATIONS OF THESE STORES AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE WORKED HARD FOR YEARS. KEEP YOUR MOUTHS SHUT WITHOUT KNOWING ALL OF THE FACTS AND THE TRUTH.

View Larger Map The article lists -- Ashu Jewelers, 814 Newark Ave.; Raja Jewelers, 820 Newark Ave.; and Nikita's Inc., at the corner of Newark and Liberty avenues in Journal Square (India Square/ Little India) We wandered through one of these Indian Gold Jewelry stores after eating at Dosa Hut -- is it a matter of these stores knowingly selling gold at high prices to people with fake credit cards? How would they hope to get away with that? Wouldn't credit card companies start to wonder if they keep getting fake charges from Ashu, Raja and Nikita's Jewelers of Newark Avenue in Jersey City?
