Fraud fugitive found from Facebook
Probably shouldn’t have drawn attention to himself.
A man who was wanted by US authorities on fraud charges was apprehended after making a number of posts on social networking site Facebook.
In the posts, Maxi Sopo, originally from Cameroon, boasted of living it up in the resorts in Cancun, Mexico, complete with photos.
US officials say Mr Sopo and an associate falsely obtained more than $200,000 in credit from banks.
Sopo was found after adding a former Justice Department official as a friend on Facebook, who had no idea at the time that Sopo was on the run.
