A young male known behind his alias as 'Riley' has allegedly been involved behind thousands of scams around the world, including credit cards, money laundering and identity fraud has been arrested in East London Hackney, Metropolitan Police claims.
The 19-year-old man, known only as "Riley" is alleged to be involved in a network of 24 individuals behind global scams worth more than £18m.
His operations involved using malware to take over systems to compromise emails, as well as identity scams.
They would then send fake messages to buyers with instructions to make a payment to a bank account under their control.
The other strategy they used was to take over the email account of a high-level executive and give instructions to transfer money into a bank account they controlled.
The suspect and an accomplice, who was also arrested in the city, face charges including hacking, conspiracy and obtaining money under false pretences.
They are currently out on bail as investigations continue, the statement said.
The operation was led by the Met and supported by Police Scotland. Ten people have already been arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit fraud and money laundering offences in connection with the investigation.

whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
