Mafia românească din SUA: Cum au clonat românii cardurile sociale ale americanilor săraci

A Romanian criminal network has stolen hundreds of millions from the U.S. budget by cloning outdated social security cards, affecting low-income families. Authorities discovered that a Romanian citizen installed a skimming device at a 7-Eleven in Ohio, part of a California-based group led by a figure known as "Piranha." This operation highlights a broader trend of Romanian organized crime exploiting outdated magnetic stripe technology to siphon funds from social assistance programs. Many involved are undocumented, and the illicit gains are funneled back to Romania for luxury items and real estate. Despite efforts to combat this fraud, tactics have evolved, with criminals using bots and cloned cards to execute transactions.
