Here's another funny story on how criminals are very dumb. According to a story released by MSNBC http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33301490/ns/technology_and_science_tech_and_gadgets/ Maxi Sapo was arrested by mexican authorites after he placed a former Justice Department official on his friends list on his Facebook page. Mr. Sapo is facing bank fraud charges after he and an accomplice allegedly committed bank fraud from several Seatle area banks and credit unions totally $200,000. After Mr. Sapo realized he was being investigated for the crimes he then fled to Mexico. Mr. Sapo is currently being held in mexican custody awaiting extradition back to the United States.
Authorities working the case say they frequently scan Myspace and Facebook looking for fugitives. Although Sapo's page was listed as private, authorities discovered that his friends list was not and that's how they discovered one of his friends was a former Justice Depatement official. The authorities contacted the former official and that's how they caught up with Mr. Sapo.
This is another fine example of why criminals are just plain dumb. Here was a ciminal who defrauded the banks for all of this money and then he goes on Facebook and brags how he is living the life of luxury, living on the beach and partying all the time at all the Cancun nightclubs. One would think he would have just remained anonymous. Lucky for U.S. authorities he was stupid. I just hope that Mr. Sapo got all his partying out of his system. Now he will get to face his charges and spend the next 30 years in a federal prison.
It just seems that these criminals work a lot harder to commit these crimes rather than just getting a real job and earning an honest living.

I love your blog with all the dumb criminals in it! It kind of makes the rest of us look like the rocket scientists! How dumb can one be to be hiding from the police and have a Facebook page! Thank you for posting these.
