- The robber that lured decoys to the crime scene by advertising for construction workers on Craigslist. He made off with $400,000 stolen from an armoured car but was caught a month later through a tip-off.
- An Eastern European website selling stolen identities that turns out to be a sting operation.
- The guy who wrote a script to open 60,000 new brokerage accounts to harvest the few pennies they deposit to verify bank accounts.
- The thieves that reprogrammed ATMs to think they were loaded with $1 bills instead of $20s, and managed to steal $13,000 before being caught.
- The gang that duplicated thousands of Citibank ATM cards and stole $2 million, only being caught because of a traffic stop.
These may not be the biggest crimes in terms of size, but are interesting primarily for their hack value.
