Olof Kyros Gustafsson, former CEO of Escobar, pleaded guilty to fraud and money laundering charges related to the company’s phone scam operation. The Department of Justice says Gustafsson took orders for phones branded with Pablo Escobar’s likeness but failed to deliver products, instead transferring customer money for personal use. When customers sought refunds, Gustafsson fraudulently referred payment processors to certificates of ownership as proof of delivery. The phones were Samsung devices with gold stickers. Gustafsson faces up to 20 years in prison and $1.3 million in restitution at his December 5th sentencing. ← You may like to read: → Humans Can Be Tracked With Unique ‘Fingerprint’ Based On How Their Bodies Block Wi-Fi Signals USPS Halts All Packages From China, Sending the Ecommerce Industry Into Chaos Health Secretary Wants Every American To Be Sporting a Wearable Within Four Years US Government Asks 3D Printing Industry to Help Stop the Printing of Machine Gun Conversion Devices Alleged ‘CEO Shooter’ Luigi Mangione Raises $297K Online California Bans All Plastic Bags This is the most recent story.
