Brass necked suspect swallows USB evidence
Posted by deepquest on March 5, 2010 – 11:02 pm
A suspected cybercrook who swallowed a USB drive in an apparent bid to destroy evidence has been charged with obstruction.
Florin Necula, from New York, ate a Kingston flash drive thought to contain mag strip dumps from credit cards shortly after his arrest outside a bank in Queens on 21 January. He gobbled the USB drive while awaiting processing and questioning at a Secret Service office in Brooklyn.
Necula’s attempts to digest the evidence resulted in a trip to a New York hospital and, four days later, a presumably delicate operation to remove the USB stick.
