Wow! There are so many interesting tidbits to this that I don't know where to start. The biggest thing I like though, is that he was ordered to pay full restitution to his victims. Whether or not that will actually happen remains to be seen. Hopefully the victims get their full restitution.
Other interesting things about this (at least according to me):
1) The many different names under which he operated.
2) "They used stolen data to identify timeshare owners."
3) "There were no buyers, however, and the timeshare sales never occurred." (Wow! What a shocker!)
4) "The co-conspirators would buy inactive companies that had previously been licensed in their target state, use false identities, and lease temporary office spaces." Isn't that what is happening with a lot of these scam companies about which newbies are asking?
5) "Fraudsters frequently are able to buy or steal information related to an intended victim that the victim believed was confidential..." That partly answers the question that newbies ask Where did they get my phone number and name?
