[ga] Computer Security Lecturer Gets Jail Time for Identity Fraud

[jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

All,

FYI, all is not well in South Wales UK.  Isn't that
where you are from Debbie?  Keep a lookout for these
transplanted Phd types, ok.

Seems like his day job conflicted with his noble aspirations 
to be a good citizen.  Intelligence is a terrible thing to 
waste although this could lend credence to creating a
technology category for the annual "Darwin Award." 

See:(July 26 & 27, 2007)
Eni Oyegoke, a Nigerian man who has been a lecturer in computer security
at the University of Glamorgan in South Wales, UK, was sentenced to two
years in jail after admitting to fraud, deception and theft offenses.
Oyegoke applied for a British driving license with a false passport
number.  When police searched his home, they found a phony driving
license as well as evidence that he had made nearly GBP 22,000 (US
$44,683) in fraudulent credit card charges using his former landlords'
identities.  He came to Wales as a PhD student in 2005 and soon after
began lecturing in the computer science department about identity theft.
Oyegoke maintains the phony license was made as part of his graduate
thesis.  It is likely that he will be deported once his jail term is
complete.
