The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark, NJ has announced that Marius Ventila, a Romanian native, was sentenced to 10 years in prison and to pay $7.5 million in restitution for his part in a credit card skimming scam that used card-reading devices to steal bank information from ATMs. The card-reading devices were attached to ATMs to steal account information from the magnetic strips of ATM cards. Ventila also used pinhole cameras to record customers typing their personal information numbers at ATMs. The scheme allowed Ventila and his cohorts to steal over $5 million from individuals’ bank accounts.
