Three men have been charged with perpetrating the breach of JP Morgan Chase last summer, among other crimes.  Two men are being held in Israel and one, a US citizen, is still at large.  The breach of JP Morgan compromised the personal information of 83 million customers and involved complex securities fraud, but that was just a part of their crime spree that targeted not just JP Morgan.

“Prosectors said the hacking enterprise began in 2007 and allegedly including the pumping up of stock prices, online casinos, payment processing for criminals, an illegal bitcoin exchange, and the laundering of money through at least 75 shell companies and accounts around the world.”
