Invoices were sent to the buyers, along with instructions to deposit the money into a US bank account, which of course belonged to the fraudsters.

EBay and other similar services were used to advertise cars, motorcycles, craft and other high-value items, ranging from 10.000 to 36.000 dollars.
Together with Popescu, Dumitru Daniel Bosogioiu is also wanted. The federalists offer 750.000 dollars for details that will lead to his arrest. Together with these two others are accused of 11, who managed to escape the seizure in an international takedown that took place in December of 2012.
