From the US DOJ files:


Federal law enforcement officers with the FBI and IRS-Criminal Investigation arrested three men at their homes this morning on charges they stole approximately $6.7 million from an investor, in part by claiming special access to shares in the social media company Facebook Inc., prior to the company’s initial public offering, New Jersey U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.

Interesting that the money was coming from a Cayman Islands account thou, I wonder if NZ IRD might want to talk to investor GC about the extend of his international assets and earnings?.......
