Yes arrests made. No idea of the outcome though. Plenty of people getting away with it though. Simple fraud still works. Identity theft etc. Very easy stuff. There's a great Vice documentary about fraud online somewhere where one of the fraudsters opens up his lockup to reveal 100+ garbage bags full of stolen bank statements, utility bills etc that they use to piece together fake identity ammo.
