Tejay Fletcher, founder and leading administrator of fraud website iSpoof.cc, has been sentenced to 13 years and four months in prison by a London judge after pleading guilty to charges including possession of criminal property and transferring criminal property. The site was closed down in a series of global operations last year, with Fletcher earning at least £2m ($2.6m) from his $3.2m cryptocurrency Bitcoin earnings. Criminals were able to use the site to disguise calls as originating from trusted organisations such as banks, allowing them to empty their targets' accounts.
