'Massive' $200M Credit Card FraudBy AARON KATERSKY | ABC News — 4 hrs ago
Eighteen people have been charged in what federal prosecutors in New Jersey called one of the largest credit card fraud schemes ever uncovered by the U.S. Department of Justice, spanning 28 states and eight countries.
"The defendants are part of a massive international fraud enterprise involving thousands of false identities, fraudulent identification documents, doctored credit reports and more than $200 million in confirmed losses," FBI Special Agent James Simpson said in court records.[More]
I wondered if there were more names, so I hunted down the official press release:

Crime Ring Invented 7,000 Fake Identities to Obtain Tens of Thousands of Credit Cards
This has a useful table of international names, and next to each of them is a location in the United States. I'd like to see a table of their countries of origin, but we'll just have to infer that from the names, as usual. We'll have to, because none of the stories in Google News use the word "immigrant".
