Shailesh kumar Jain alias SAM JAIN, FBI's most wanted hackers, still remains at large

Jain faces a maximum prison sentence of 480 years in prison and a whopping $10 million in fines when apprehended.
The FBI’s 10 most-wanted black-hat hackers countdown continues: the co-conspirators Bjorn Daniel Sundin and Shaileshkumar “Sam” P. Jain.
On 26 May 2010, the U.S. District Court of Northern Illinois indicted Sundin, Jain and a third suspect for one count of conspiracy to commit computer fraud, one count of computer fraud and 24 separate counts of wire fraud. Federal warrants for their arrest went out that same day.
Though law enforcement has arrested their accomplice, Sundin and Jain have managed to evade the FBI for the past eight years.
From December 2006 to October 2008, Sundin and Jain were both involved in an elaborate spyware scam that tricked customers into purchasing $100 million worth of rogue anti-virus software.
According to an indictment filed by the U.S. District Court of Northern California in 2008, Jain and Sundin at one time owned and operated a number of websites, including discountbob.com and winantivirus.com, that purported to offer Symantec anti-virus software. They conducted their shady business dealings via a fake company called Innovative Marketing, Inc.
Jain and Sundin used email scamming and pop-up security alert ads to direct potential customers to these and other sites. There, unsuspecting users purchased the bogus AV software packages for between $30 and $70.
The criminal duo then ferried the funds from each credit card purchase through several financial institutions until Jain ultimately deposited them into accounts under his control at banks based in the United States and Switzerland.





Jain is a United States citizen who has ties to Brazil, Canada, India and Ukraine. He has been a fugitive since 2008 when he failed to show up to court in California and pay a $250,000 bond. Since his second indictment in 2010, officials have seized $15 million from his Swiss bank account, but he still remains at large.

Indian American Nikesh Patel given 25 years in prison for carrying out massive fraud, trying to flee to Ecuador

Nikesh Patel was supposed to be living with his parents and helping authorities recover money for victims while he awaited sentencing for a massive $179 million real estate fraud. Instead, the smooth-talking Florida native was still on the take, posing as a bank executive to rip off millions more through sham loans, then blowing the money on lavish ski trips, a pricey Orlando, Fla., home, even a $30,000 birthday bash at a Four Seasons hotel for his 1-year-old daughter, federal prosecutors alleged. But he saved his biggest scam for last. On the day he was to be sentenced in January, Patel was arrested at a Florida airport trying to board a private jet to Ecuador, where prosecutors say he sought political asylum and planned to set up an extravagant new life for himself and his family. It all came to a crashing end Tuesday in a federal courtroom in Chicago as Patel was sentenced to 25 years in prison for one of the most brazen swindles in recent memory, a scam that stretched from Orlan...
