Credit Card Fraudster Gets 9 Years
A Turkish man has been sentenced to more than nine years in federal prison for his role in a fraud scheme that involved the compromise of payment card details at a San Diego hotel.
Alper Erdogan was sentenced for conspiracy to commit computer hacking, conspiracy to commit credit card fraud and aggravated identity theft, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida. In February, Erdogan was extradited to the U.S. to face the charges. He was initially indicted in September 2012; he pleaded guilty on April 18, authorities say.
