Gotta give him credit for trying.

Wow, that kid is pretty smart.

I'm guessing the use of a wig would help if/when a security camera saw him. I'd bet that part of how they identified and caught him was because he used a credit card with his real name on it to buy the pre-paid card.

You can probably load funds to the card via cash at Wally World, which would have been a much smarter idea than using a credit card like this guy probably did.

If he was going to have a ATM spitting out $20 for every $1 "spent" why did he have a $400 pre-paid card? Also, what would have he done with the cash, slowly bought things with it? I guess as long as it was over a few months depositing $8,000 ($20*$400) in an account probably wouldn't have drawn much attention.

There are far better ways to rip off ATM's than using a service manual to enter codes from the keypad after putting a pre-paid card in.. but that's restricted info. Lets just say the people who get away with it are far more clever than this idiot.. because they leave no trace except a short balance across a stack of machines. Ever seen an atm churning out cash like it's going out of fashion with a blank blue screen? It will have gone mad for the next customer after the hacker... nuff said.. restricted...

doesn't "prepaid" usually mean that you paid with cash? @-@

Actually, I think that was pretty STUPID. Don't you think that when Big Brother monitors transactions and "Barack Obama" shows on the screen shopping in some Texas city they take a look into it? What a retard...

I'm just surprised the FBI got him and secret service didnt get involved and wipe him out.Money is easy to blow but not easy to hide when its in a bank account.

After all the money Barrack gave to the banks, the least they could do is to give back a few grand to some guy claiming to be Barrack, right?

My question is why did the original post make the point of noting his Facebook account supported John McCain? Not that I support McCain, but it seems to me like trying to transfer this guy's stupidity to McCain supporters...

If you read the affidavit, it states that the special FBI agent met him at the airport and was with him at Walmart and at the ATM. So they were on to him before due to some other reason/incident. It has nothing to do with the fact that he used the president's name/address for the particular crime in Texas.

After reading the affidavit, it seems like the original Brian guy was a snitch for the Feds, or of course a Fed himself. It mentions "Brian" as having a criminal history that he bragged about on a social site and that’s how the guys met. So either Brian is a snitch, a fed, or has his communications monitored and was busted in-between this whole mess. In any case a very interesting story that was surprisingly revealing.

The only thing I don't get is How he activated the Wal-Mart green-dot card. If you look at the application screen they require not just name and address but e-mail address and most of all social security number otherwise it says it can't be processed and the card can't be activated, hence, lost pre loaded money and no ATM access! How could he POSSIBLY got hold of the President's SSN and E-Mail address? Unless he's a better hacker than I thought.
