Cameron Harrison of Augusta, Georgia, was sentenced to more than nine years in prison Wednesday for buying stolen credit and debit card numbers from an underground online marketplace.
Harrison pleaded guilty in April to participating in a racketeer-influenced corrupt organization and trafficking in false identification documents. He was also ordered to pay restitution to the tune of $50.8 million.
He was not the only one to be indicted. Fifty-five people were indicted for stolen identity documents, equipment to make documents, stolen bank account information and payment card data as offered on the dark web site Carder.su.
He was caught by his attempt to buy a fake Georgia drivers license from an undercover agent on Carder.su.
The DOJ estimated the group caused more than $50 million in damage.
Harrison admitted to buying credit card and other personal info. The DOJ found more than 260 credit and debit card numbers on his computer and in his email account. As part of another organization called the ShadowCrew, he also admitted to selling counterfeit IDs.
