Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen victim of ID theft

[jamrock]

An AWOL U.S. Army soldier based in Pittsburgh is accused of stealing Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen's identity and using it attempt to steal money from Allen's Citibank account.

Court documents unsealed this week in U.S. District Court in Pennsylvania alleged that Brandon Price, 30, of Pittsburgh, impersonated Allen on the phone and convinced a Citibank employee to send him a debit card in Allen's name and account number.

It should be interesting to see how this one turns out.

At least I know which bank not to lend my money to. Mr Allen probably wouldn't even have noticed if a few million went missing till tax time. 30 years for stealing 20k. His life finish already. Was it worth it? Idiots will be idiots.
