The Village of Elida will
end leaf pick-up on Monday.
Leaves must be raked to
the curb — not on the street.
Residents are asked to
keep lawn clippings, nuts
and tree branches out of
leaves. Nuts and branches
can be dangerous to the vil-
lage employees picking up
leaves and can ultimately
damage the equipment.

will move through as
quickly as possible. Stacy Taff photo
After leaf pick-up ends, German students visiting Delphos assembled with their host families during Monday night’s city council meeting to say goodbye. The students

DELPHOS — As part of the
friendship pact between Delphos and
its sister city of Verl, Germany, stu-
dents have been going back and forth
in an effort to learn more about each
other. In addition to experiencing a
new culture, each person involved
emerges with new friends and family
whom they stay in touch with long
after their visit.
This year’s crop of visiting stu-
dents heads back to Germany on
Dec. 4. Each has a few things they
will miss.
“I’m really glad we all had the
chance to see so many things here
in America,” said Melanie Krause,
who attended St. John’s while here.
“Everybody knows each other here
and everyone is so close. I’m really
going to miss that. I’ll miss the
school spirit and the atmosphere it
creates. And of course, the football
games. I’m really thankful for my
host parents, Mary Lou and Keith,
and that we got to do a lot of travel-
ing while I was here.”
Christina Pollklasener and Laura
Kampwirth attended Jefferson and
they, too, enjoyed the school spirit
and tight-knit community.
“I really enjoyed my stay here
and my school. I had the chance to
get to know a lot of people and see a
lot of places,” Pollklasener said. “It
was fun to get a chance to experi-
ence school like we see it on the
movies, because school isn’t like that
in Germany, where you get to go to
your lockers and things like that. I’ve
enjoyed staying with my host family
and my three host siblings. They say
I’m their fourth child. Hopefully, I
wasn’t too bad.”
“I’ll really miss my school and
host family and the culture around
here,” Kampwirth said. “The school
spirit too, because that’s something
we don’t have back home. I’ll really
miss Ginger and Gene, my host par-
ents, and Tanya, my host sister.”
Carolin Scheer, one of the students
who attended St. John’s, enjoyed the
excitement of being in a new place.
“I’m really glad I could come,
that I had the opportunity to explore
a new culture and way of life,” she
said. “Everything is so exciting and
new. I enjoyed spending time with
my host family, too.”
Among this year’s group of stu-
dents was a pair of brothers, Julius
and Justus Obergassel. Though they
stayed with different host families,
they still spent a lot of time togeth-
er.
“I had a lot of fun here with my
host dad Ken and host brother Quinn
and all of the people I’ve met,” said
Justus. “I had a lot of fun at school
and at all of the football games.
Everyone here is friends with every-
one else and you get to see your
friends at school, then after school
and then at the games. Hopefully,
some students from here will come
to Germany.”
“I’ll miss all of the people I’ve
met and all of the people I’ve talked
to,” said Julius, the older of the two.
“Everyone is so nice and open. I’ve
enjoyed the time I’ve had with my
host family and everyone around
them. Everyone has participated in
my experience here and made it real-
ly easy for me to become integrated
in the four months I’ve been here.”
The students aren’t the only ones
who enjoyed the last four months.
Their host families have come to
consider them as one of their own.
“Justus is number seven for us
and we recently went back over
to Germany and saw five of our
past exchange students while we
were there,” said Ken Wise, Justus
Obergassel’s host father. “One
of them still refers to me as her
American dad and to Quinn as her

At least 378 die in
festival stampede
By SOPHENG CHEANG
The Associated Press
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia
— Rescuers trawled a muddy
river today for more bodies
and Cambodia prepared for
a day of mourning following
a stampede by thousands of
festival-goers which left at
least 378 dead and hundreds
of injured.
The prime minister called
it the country’s biggest trage-
dy since the murderous 1970s
reign of the Khmer Rouge.
A panic-stricken crowd —
celebrating the end of the
rainy season on an island in
a river — tried to flee over a
narrow bridge in the capital
Phnom Penh late Monday.
Many people were crushed
underfoot or fell over its sides
into the water. Disoriented
victims struggled to find an
escape hatch through the
human mass, pushing their
way in every direction. After
the stampede, bodies were
stacked upon bodies on the
bridge as rescuers swarmed
the area.
The search for the dead in
and along the Bassac River
continued today as horrific

Ann and Jim Benfield,
Julius’ host parents, had the
pleasure of getting to know
Justus as well.
“It’s very nice to have
young people from Germany
here,” Ann said. “We got to
ask a lot of questions about
things we always wanted to
know. Their school system
is very unusual and here they
get to do things they don’t
get to do at home, like Julius
and Justus got to be in the
marching band here because
they’re both musicians. We’ll
really miss them. It’s been a
pleasure having Julius here,
and Justus as well. We’re
planning on going to visit
there in June.”

help and grasping for res-

limp bodies from the pile as
if they were trapped in sand

It remained unclear what
sparked the stampede. Police
and witnesses pointed to the
narrow bridge as providing
inadequate access to and from
the island. Two Singaporean
businessmen who organized a
sound-and-light show for the
festival, said authorities had
closed another bridge earlier
in the day, forcing tens of
thousands of people to use a
single span.
One witness said the
trouble started when several
people fell unconscious in the
press of the crowd. Another
survivor said he heard a
police siren just before the
panic erupted.
Ambulances raced back

and the hospitals for several
hours after the stampede.

VAN WERT — The Van
Wert County EMA Board of
Directors recently met for its
quarterly meeting to discuss
the local program, grants and
also a State Audit finding.
According to Director Rick
McCoy, the agency has had
a successful year and con-
tinues to aggressively pursue
and receive state and federal
grants. The agency current-
ly has more than $2 million
dollars in grants that it has
received this year, which is
the largest amount in the his-
tory of the agency since it
began in 1950.
An item brought before the
board included the activation
of some area Tornado Warning
Sirens and also paging out
area spotters. A request came
to the director from the City
of Delphos asking that the
local EMA Director be given
the capability to activate the
Delphos sirens during tornado
warnings. That responsibility
now rests with Allen County
Authorities.
The Delphos mayor and
safety service director worked
with Allen County to reach a
written agreement to include
the Van Wert EMA in future
siren activations for Delphos
and Landeck. McCoy report-
ed his radio system is now
programmed to perform this
function.
Another request came from
the Mendon Fire Department
asking that the Van Wert
EMA have authorization to
activate their paging system
and request their department
for severe weather spotting.
McCoy advised the board that
since Mendon does respond
into Van Wert County on
runs, he reached an agreement
with Mendon to activate their
system for severe weather.
The Fire Chiefs from
Rockford and Chatt are also
programming their pagers to
activate when Van Wert EMA
tones out Mendon so all three
departments will actually be
spotting in the future when
requested.
Board members reviewed
the grant report which includ-
ed a Citizens Corp grant in
the amount of $6,650 for
local training; an EMPG
Federal grant in the amount of
Security grant to purchase
800 MHz radio equipment
for local emergency response
agencies.
The final grant is a State
Special Emergency Planning
Grant in the amount of
$26,760, which had a recent
finding by State Auditors over
the transfer of some of those
funds. “The finding simply
was a matter of transferring
the money incorrectly from
one account to another to pay
for a highway truck survey
which McCoy was conduct-
ing and we now know how
had overlooked the fact
that it was not McCoy who
approved the transfer but the
Local Emergency Planning
Committee who had approved
it back in December.
Therefore, it did not actually
affect McCoy at all. Board
Chairman Duane Poling and
Dixon said it was a simple
oversight and everything was
resolved on future grants are
moved or transfered. McCoy
told the board that with over
$2 million dollars in grants
being handled, he was very
happy that the agency is doing

TSA chief says resisting
scanners will cause delays
By RAY HENRY
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Despite
tough talk on the Internet,
there was little if any indi-
cation of a passenger revolt
at many major U.S. airports,
with very few people declining
the X-ray scan that can peer
through their clothes. Those
who refuse the machines are
subject to a pat-down search
that includes the crotch and
chest.
Many travelers said that
the scans and the pat-down
were not much of an inconve-
nience, and that the stepped-
up measures made them feel
safer and were, in any case,
unavoidable.
“Whatever keeps the coun-
try safe, I just don’t have a
problem with,” Leah Martin,
50, of Houston, said as she
waited Monday to go through
security at the Atlanta air-
port.

not to boycott full-body scans

Feds crank up Wall St. heat with raids
By DANIEL WAGNER

The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — coats and badges emerged
Federal investigators have
turned up the heat on Wall
Street, raiding three hedge
funds in what one of the tar-
gets called a wide-ranging
probe of insider trading.
The FBI on Monday
searched the New York offic-
es of Level Global Investors
LP, and the Stamford, Conn.,
headquarters of Diamondback
Capital Management LLC, a
law enforcement official said.
The official spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity because he
was not authorized to discuss
an ongoing case.
Another FBI official said
the agency also searched a
third site, at 30 Federal St.
in Boston. Hedge fund Loch
Capital Management LLC
has its headquarters at that
address.
The FBI said in a statement
that it had executed search
warrants in the three states
“in an ongoing investigation.”
Agency spokesmen said they
could not comment further
because the court documents
are under seal.
A spokesman for Level
Global acknowledged the raid
took place.

Man in past jogger attacks guilty of Levy slaying
By MATTHEW
BARAKAT
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A
man imprisoned for attack-
ing two female joggers was
found guilty Monday of mur-
dering Washington intern
Chandra Levy, wrapping up
a murder mystery that took
down a congressman and
captured the nation’s atten-
tion a decade ago.
Ingmar Guandique was
convicted of first-degree mur-
der for attacking Levy while
she exercised in Washington’s
Rock Creek Park in May
2001. Her disappearance
made headlines when she was
romantically linked to then-
Rep. Gary Condit, D-Calif.
Condit was once a suspect,
but police no longer believe
he was involved in her disap-
pearance.
Speaking outside the court-
house, Levy’s mother said
she’ll never be free from the
pain of losing her daughter.
“I have a lifetime sentence
of a lost limb missing from
our family tree,” Susan Levy
said after the hearing. “It’s a
lifetime of a broken heart.”
Investigators eventually
focused on Guandique, an
illegal immigrant from El
Salvador, and brought formal
charges last year. Prosecutors

“We all wish we lived in a
world where security proce-
dures at airports weren’t nec-
essary,” he said, “but that just
isn’t the case.”
He noted the alleged
attempt by a Nigerian with
explosives in his underwear
to bring down a plane over
Detroit last Christmas.
About two-thirds of
Americans support using the
full-body scanners to increase
security, according to a
Washington Post-ABC News
poll published today. But half
of the 514 adults surveyed by
phone said the more rigorous
pat-downs go too far.
At Chicago’s O’Hare
Airport, Gehno Sanchez,
a 38-year-old from San
Francisco who works in mar-
keting, said he doesn’t mind
the full-body scans. “I mean,
they may make you feel like a
criminal for a minute, but I’d
rather do that than someone
touching me,” he said.
A loosely organized
Internet campaign is urging
people to refuse the scans on
Wednesday in what is being
called National Opt-Out Day.
The extra time needed to pat
down people could cause a
cascade of delays at dozens of
major airports, including those
in New York, Los Angeles,
Chicago and Atlanta.

rying nylon backpacks. They
declined to answer reporters’
questions.
In Stamford, security
guards ordered journal-
ists to leave the premises of
the high-rise building hous-
ing the offices of Diamond
Capital Management. Three
men were seen leaving the
building in an FBI vehicle on
Monday evening.
The raids rattled Wall
Street and bank shares
slumped Monday as news of
FBI action spread. Goldman
Sachs Group Inc. sank 3.4 per-
cent, while Bank of America
Corp. fell 3.1 percent. Several
white-collar defense lawyers
in New York said they were
bombarded by calls from trad-
ers seeking representation.
The FBI and other law
enforcement agencies are
investigating insider trading
by hedge funds, mutual funds
and investment bankers, the
Wall Street Journal report-
ed this weekend. The com-
panies allegedly earned tens
of millions in illegal prof-
its using secret information
about mergers, according to
acknowledged they had lit-
tle direct evidence but said
Levy’s death fit a pattern of
other crimes committed by
Guandique in the park.
The defense argued that
the 29-year-old Guandique
(gwahn-DEE’-kay) became
a scapegoat for a botched
investigation. Levy’s body
was found about a year after
she disappeared.
In a telephone interview,
Condit’s lawyer Bert Fields
said the verdict represents a
vindication that comes too
late to repair the damage his
client’s career. Still, trial tes-
timony that Condit’s DNA
was on underwear at Levy’s
apartment bolstered the idea
that the married politician
had an affair with the intern.
“At least Gary Condit
can find some measure of
closure to this nightmare,”
Fields said. “It’s a complete
vindication, but that comes a
little late. Who gives him his
career back?” Fields said his
client, whose primary loss in
2002 was largely blamed on
negative publicity from the
case, wasn’t going to speak
to reporters.
The jury deliberated over
parts of four days before
returning with a verdict
shortly before noon Monday.
Guandique was convicted on
two counts of first-degree

“Just one or two recalci-
trant passengers at an airport
is all it takes to cause huge
delays,” said Paul Ruden, a
spokesman for the American
Society of Travel Agents,
which has warned its more
than 8,000 members about
delays. “It doesn’t take much
to mess things up anyway.”
Most who don’t like the
screenings just grumble but
don’t really cause a big fuss,
at least not that Cris Soulia, a
TSA officer in San Diego and
president of a local union, has
heard or seen.
“We’re not here grop-
ing people. We’re not here
molesting people. We’re
checking them for items and
explosives. And yes, explo-
sives can be hidden in the
groin area,” she said.
More than 400 imag-
ing units are being used at
about 70 airports. Since the
new procedures began Nov.
1, 34 million travelers have
gone through checkpoints and
less than 3 percent are patted
down, according to the TSA.
At the White House, press
secretary Robert Gibbs said
the government is “desperate-
ly” trying to balance security
and privacy and will take the
public’s concerns and com-
plaints into account as it eval-
uates the new, more stringent

Diamondback and Level
Global both are run by for-
mer managers of SAC Capital
Advisors LP, of Stamford.
Diamondback manages about
$4.71 billion, according to
public filings. Level Global
manages $3.09 billion, filings
show.
Loch Capital is run by
brothers Timothy and Todd
McSweeney. The brothers
have been linked in news
reports to hedge-fund man-
ager Steven Fortuna. Fortuna
pleaded guilty last year to
charges stemming from an
earlier insider trading inves-
tigation by the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
Workers at Loch Capital
declined to answer calls
placed by a reporter through
the office building’s inter-
com on Monday. A worker
at the building who declined
to be identified said the
McSweeney brothers left their
offices at around noon and did
not return.
The raids come a month
after U.S. Attorney Preet
Bharara in Manhattan told
the New York City Bar
Association that white-collar
crime was on the rise, carried
out by Wall Street heavy-
weights who consider inside
information “a performance
enhancing drug that provides
the illegal ’edge’ to outpace
their rivals and make even
more money.”
murder, one alleging death as
part of a kidnapping and one
alleging the death as part of
an attempted robbery. Jurors
had the option of convicting
him on a lesser charge of
second-degree murder.
Guandique could be sen-
tenced to a minimum of 30
years and a maximum of life
in prison. Sentencing was set
for Feb. 11.
Defense lawyer Santha
Sonenberg declined comment
on whether Guandique would
appeal the verdict.
Guandique stared straight
ahead as the verdict was read,
and he shook his head as
he left the courtroom. As he
has throughout the trial, he
wore a turtleneck that cov-
ered gang tattoos.
Levy’s mother squinted
and took notes during the
hearing, then craned her neck
to observe Guandique’s reac-
tion to the verdict.
Susan Levy had been out-
spoken in her suspicions of
Condit during the investiga-
tion, even openly speculating
about Condit’s involvement
in the weeks before the trial.
On Monday she indicated
that she believed the jury’s
verdict was correct.
“It makes a difference to
find the right person who is
responsible for my daughter’s
death,” she said.

Jays facing run-happy Cavaliers LOCAL ROUNDUP

By JIM METCALFE
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
St. John’s has faced a lot of
passes in its last five football
games, including last week’s
56-20 dismantling of previ-
ously-unbeaten Edgerton in
the Region 22 final.
Now the Blue
Jays and head man
Todd Schulte have
to switch gears
defensively as they
prepare to tangle
with run-heavy

“It’s definitely FOOTBALL

PREVIEW
we’ve seen the last five weeks
to a power-running offense.
They are big and physical up
front and their backs are hard-
running kids,” Schulte, who
begins the game with a 125-
32 mark in 12 seasons, said.
“They are big up front: their
two tackles go 270 and 265
and the center is 205. They are
hard to move. (Caleb) Goins
is their major threat in the
backfield; he will get the ball
a lot of the time and he is a
tough runner at 195 pounds.
He doesn’t go around you —
he wants to go through you.
Ratliff is the other threat back
there and he goes 6-2, 205;
he’s another tough runner.
However, you can’t fall asleep
or they will keep you honest;
they were 11-of-14 passing
last week against Minster for
144 yards. They have a 6-6
receiver, so that is a concern
as well.
“Defensively, they are in
the 4-4 and since a few of their
coaches were with Al Hetrick
at Versailles for so many
years, we are familiar with
that. They put their outside
linebacker over the tight end
and put the end outside. They

second-straight season, after
averaging a double-double
over DC’s first three outings.
The sophomore point guard
contributed to 44.0 points per
game during that span, while
averaging 20.0 points, 10.0
assists and 4.7 rebounds per
game.
Black also spends time
working with the mainte-
nance department at Defiance
College and was recently
tabbed as a First-Team All-
HCAC performer for the
Yellow Jackets.
He joins Kelsey Ferguson,
who was named the SAAC
Sportsmanship Award winner
for women’s volleyball.

The 6-10 junior dominated
inside in a game where the Blue
Devils (4-0) took a big early lead
then saw Marquette tie it three
times before Duke went on a 9-0
run down the stretch on the way
to the reigning national cham-
pion’s 14th consecutive win.
The Blue Devils took a 23-9
lead with 11:15 to play in the
first half. Duke was still ahead
40-31 at halftime but the Golden
Eagles (4-1) tied the game three
times but never took the lead.
The last tie was 57-all on a
baseline jumper by Jae Crowder
with 10:28 to play. The Blue
Devils scored the next nine
points — four by Plumlee — and
the Golden Eagles didn’t have
another run in them.
Jimmy Butler led Marquette,
which was 4-of-20 on 3-point-

Michigan State prevented anoth-
er Chaminade miracle by holding
off the Silverswords in the first
round of the Maui Invitational.
Chaminade (3-1) is best
known for its 1982 win over top-
ranked Virginia, still one of the
greatest upsets in college bas-
ketball history. Fearless against
one of the nation’s pre-eminent
programs, the Silverswords had
another upset in their sites, keep-
ing the Spartans (3-0) on the
ropes well into the second half.
Michigan State held its
composure against the home-
town favorites, though, sticking
close before going on a game-
deciding run midway through.
The Spartans move on to face
Connecticut in the semifinals.
Steven Bennett led

NBA CAPSULES
The Associated Press
MIAMI — Danny Granger had
20 points and 11 rebounds, Brandon
Rush added 20 points and the Indiana
Pacers added to Miami’s week of woe,
beating the Heat 93-77 on Monday
night in the worst shooting game of
Dwyane Wade’s career.
Wade finished with three points on
1-for-13 shooting. He had never shot
so poorly when taking at least 13 tries
and the point total was the third-lowest
of his career. He has been held score-
less twice.
T.J. Ford scored 13 points and
Mike Dunleavy added 11 for the
Pacers, who took control with a 29-11
run in the second quarter.
LeBron James scored 25 points
and Chris Bosh had 21 points and 11
rebounds for Miami, which learned
earlier Monday that top reserve Udonis
Haslem will need surgery on a torn
foot ligament and be out indefinitely.
Granger hit a pair of 3-pointers
36 seconds apart in the final 2 1/2
minutes to seal it, the last one giving
Indiana a 91-75 lead and sending just
about everyone who was left in the
seats heading to the exits.
Celtics 99, Hawks 76
ATLANTA — Nate Robinson had
16 points and 10 assists filling in for
the injured Rajon Rondo and Boston
raced to a 26-point lead in the first
quarter on the way to the rout.
Atlanta missed five of its first six
shots and Boston had a double-digit
lead before the game was 4 minutes
old. Shaquille O’Neal’s dunk made it
13-3. Boston made 18-of-25 shots, the
Hawks just 4-of-17 and it was 39-13 at
the end of the first.
Bouncing back from a tough loss
at Toronto the day before, the Celtics
looked like the fresher team even
while playing the second of back-to-
back games on the road.
11 points.
Spurs 106, Magic 97
SAN ANTONIO — Tony Parker
had 24 points and 10 assists to help
San Antonio to its 11th straight win.
Manu Ginobili had 25 points for
the Spurs, who faced their stiffest test
yet put prevailed late for an NBA-best
record of 12-1. Dwight Howard had 26
points and 18 rebounds for the East-
leading Magic. Jameer Nelson added
15 points for the Magic.
The Spurs can thank their long-
range shooting for keeping this streak
going, making 12-of-19 from behind
the 3-point line, including all five of
their attempts in the fourth quarter.
Jazz 94, Kings 83
SALT LAKE CITY — C.J. Miles
scored 20 points and Al Jefferson
added 19 to help Utah beat
Sacramento.
Miles keyed two runs that gave
the Jazz their third win in the past four
starts. No team has won more road
games (six) in the NBA than Utah but
the Jazz have struggled at home this
season. Miles wouldn’t let the Jazz
need any late-game rally this time as
they grabbed the lead in the second
quarter and never trailed again to
move to 4-3 at home.
Sacramento (4-9) suffered its
eighth loss in its last nine games after
a promising 3-1 start. The Kings are
averaging 90 points over that span
after scoring 108.8 per game in their
first four this season.
Suns 123, Rockets 116
HOUSTON — Steve Nash had
24 points and nine assists to help
Phoenix snap a 3-game losing streak
with a win over Houston.
Nash played 37 minutes, show-
ing no lingering effects from the groin
injury that sidelined him for the Suns’
previous two games.
Jason Richardson scored 26
points and Grant Hill added 17 points,
seven rebounds and seven assists for
the Suns.
Kevin Martin scored 19 to lead
the Rockets. Houston played its sixth
straight game without Yao Ming, out
with a bone bruise in his left ankle.
Thunder 117, Timberwolves 107
OKLAHOMA CITY — Kevin
Durant and Jeff Green returned from
injuries and powered Oklahoma City
to its fifth consecutive victory.
Durant scored 28 points and
Green had 24, including a go-ahead
3-pointer with 54.7 seconds left.
Kevin Love had 24 points and 17
rebounds for Minnesota (4-11).
Oklahoma City (10-4) led by as
many as 18 in the second half but the
Timberwolves put together an impres-
sive rally to take a 6-point lead on
Darko Milicic’s 3-point play with less
than 7 minutes to go.
Love converted a layup to put
Minnesota in front 105-104 with 1:20
remaining but Green responded with
a 3-pointer to give Oklahoma City the
lead for good.
Clippers 99, Hornets 95
LOS ANGELES — Eric Gordon
scored 27 points, including a pair of
clinching free throws with 4.7 seconds
left, and Blake Griffin added 24 points
and 13 rebounds to help the Clippers
beat the Hornets.
Griffin recorded his eighth double-
double.
David West had 30 points and 10
rebounds for New Orleans but missed
an out-of-control layup in the final sec-
onds before the Hornets lost posses-
sion out of bounds. Gordon then made
his critical free throws to ice it. Hornets
point guard Chris Paul finished with 14
points and six assists.
Nuggets 106, Warriors 89
OAKLAND, Calif. — Carmelo
Anthony scored a season-high 39
points, Al Harrington added 19 against
his former team and the Nuggets beat
the Warriors.
Anthony struggled with his shoot-
ing early but was a career-best 17-for-
17 at the free-throw line. He also had
nine rebounds and five assists.

Cyberthieves use human money mules for risky work

By ALICIA A. CALDWELL
and PETE YOST
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Sitting at a computer
somewhere overseas in January 2009, com-
puter hackers went phishing.
Within minutes of casting their electronic
bait they caught what they were looking
for: A small Michigan company where an
employee unwittingly clicked on an official-
looking e-mail that secretly gave cyberthieves
the keys to the firm’s bank account.
Before company executives knew what
was happening, Experi-Metal Inc., a subur-
ban Detroit manufacturing company, was
broke. Its $560,000 bank balance had been
electronically scattered into bank accounts in
Russia, Estonia, Scotland, Finland and around
the U.S.
In August, the Catholic Diocese in Des
Moines, Iowa, lost about $680,000 over two
days. Officials there aren’t sure how hack-
ers got into their accounts, but “they took all
they could” before the bank noticed what was
going on, according to Jason Kurth, diocese
vice chancellor.
The diocese and the Detroit company were
among dozens of individuals, businesses and
municipalities around the country victimized
by one of the largest cybertheft rings the FBI
has uncovered.
In September, the bureau and its counter-
parts in Ukraine, the Netherlands and Britain
took down the ring they first got wind of in
May 2009 when a financial services firm
tipped the bureau’s Omaha, Neb., office to
suspicious transactions. Since then, the FBI’s
Operation Trident Breach has uncovered loss-
es of $14 million and counting.
Overall in the last two years, the FBI has
opened 390 cases against schemes that prey
on businesses that process payments electron-
ically through the Automated Clearinghouse,
which handles 3,000 transactions every five
seconds. In these cases, bureau agents have
uncovered attempted thefts totaling $220 mil-
lion and actual losses of $70 million.
But the court records of Operation Trident
Breach reveal a surprise: For all the high-tech
tools and tactics employed in these computer
crimes, platoons of low-level human foot
soldiers, known as “money mules,” are the
indispensable cogs in the cybercriminals’
money machine.
A dozen FBI criminal complaints filed in
New York provide an inside look at how this
cybertheft ring worked:
Operating from Eastern Europe and other
overseas locations, the thieves used mali-
cious software, known as malware, to infect
the computers of unsuspecting users in the
United States by e-mail. The malware-infect-
ed e-mails were written to look like they came
from a company manager or colleague who
might send an e-mail message to everyone
in a company, such as the head of human
resources.
When the e-mail recipient clicked on an
embedded link to a website or opened an
attachment, a Trojan horse virus called Zeus
installed itself and gathered usernames, pass-
words and financial account numbers typed
by the victims on their own computers. The
hackers then used this information to move
the victims’ money electronically into bank
accounts set up in the United States by the
money mules.
The money mules set up shell bank accounts
to receive the money. Then they withdrew the
funds from the shell accounts in amounts they
thought were small enough to elude detec-
tion by banks and law enforcement. In some
cases, the cyberthieves bombarded telephone
numbers attached to the targeted accounts
with calls to block the company from calling
to verify the transactions.
The mules sent most of the stolen funds
overseas electronically to accounts controlled
by the ring leaders; the mules usually kept 8
to 10 percent as their cut.
For instance, the FBI said money belong-
ing to one TD Ameritrade customer landed
in the bank account of a fake company, the
Venetian Development Construction Service
Corp., which was registered at an unmarked,
two-story brick building in Brooklyn. The
sole name on the construction company’s
account was that of one of the money mules.
Eventually some of the money wound up in
accounts in Singapore and Cyprus and some
walked out the bank’s door in the pockets of
mules. TD Ameritrade spokeswoman Kim
Hillyer said the company has reimbursed cus-
tomers who lost money
Just like in the illegal drug trade, the ring
leaders overseas reaped the big profits but
relied on the mules to do the risky, dirty
work.
For each shell account, a mule had to walk
into a bank, in full view of surveillance cam-
eras and leave copies of personal identifica-
tion documents. The ring leaders hid behind
computer screens overseas.
Operation Trident Breach found many
mules are Eastern Europeans who came to the
U.S. on student visas.
Among the allegations in the FBI’s crimi-
nal complaints:
One mule was an immigrant from Moldova
who within a few months of her arrival in
New York this year had opened at least
six bank accounts using a trio of names.
Another mule, a Russian national, opened
eight accounts at three different banks using
five different aliases.
The criminal networks used so many
money mules that full-time recruiters were
needed. One recruiter placed advertisements
on Russian language websites seeking stu-
dents with U.S. visas.
A pair of Russian roommates living in
Brooklyn worked together. One smuggled at
least $150,000 in cash to hackers in Russia,
arranged for fake passports to be smuggled
into the U.S., and acted as a middleman pick-
ing up and delivering stolen money from other
mules. The other roommate opened accounts
with fake names and false passports in New
York and New Jersey this summer.

Oil spill victims’ kin feel left out
By HARRY R. WEBER and BRIAN SKOLOFF
The Associated Press
JONESVILLE, La. — Roy Wyatt Kemp’s family is wait-
ing for his headstone, black marble engraved with the deer and
ducks he loved to hunt. The grave, however, lacks a body.
Seven months after the fateful Gulf of Mexico explosion
that triggered one of history’s worst environmental disasters,
the 27-year-old rig worker’s family knows very little beyond
the fact that he never came home. Did he survive the initial
blast? Did he suffer? Could he have been saved?
“I wonder every day what happened to my son. I don’t think
it will ever leave me,” said his mother, Peggy.
Without a body, without answers and with only limited
financial and emotional support, Kemp’s family and relatives
of the 10 other workers who died on the BP-leased rig are left
to wonder whether the oil giant’s promise to “make things
right” applies to everyone but them.
From the small towns of central Mississippi to the cot-
ton fields of central Louisiana to the cattle farms of southern
Texas, relatives of the men, in interviews with The Associated
Press, bemoaned that so much of the public focus has been on
the oil spilled rather than the lives lost.
“There hasn’t been anybody associated with BP, Transocean
or any of them that has sat down and really tried to give you
their condolence and tell you what took place,” Peggy Kemp
said.
As criminal investigations, congressional hearings and
finger-pointing mount, the families of the dead want detailed
explanations from BP and its partners of exactly how their
Royal wedding will be April 29
LONDON (AP) — Prince William and Kate Middleton will
marry April 29 in Westminster Abbey, the historic London church
where Princess Diana’s funeral was held.
Royal officials said today that the couple chose the venue for
its beauty, intimacy and historic royal connections, and the date
because they wanted a spring wedding. It also the feast day of St.
Catherine of Siena, whose name Middleton shares — though that
is a coincidence.
The government said the day, a Friday, would be a public
holiday.
Prince William’s private secretary, Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton,
said the couple chose the 1,000-year-old abbey in central London
because despite its size — it holds 2,200 people — it has a sense
of intimacy.
“Even at the altar, it seems like a parish church,” he said.
It also has centuries of royal history. William’s grandmother,
Queen Elizabeth II, and her mother both married at the abbey,
where British kings and queens are crowned.
William and Kate decided against celebrating their nuptials at
St. Paul’s Cathedral, where William’s parents married in 1981.
The palace said the royal family and the Middletons would
cover the costs of the nuptials, apart from security. There have
been grumbles about the propriety of holding a lavish royal bash
