Nigerian man arrested in global, $60 million scam

A Nigerian man alleged to be the mastermind behind an international crime ring that swindled individuals and companies out of $60 million has been arrested.

According to a statement by Interpol, the man, known only as 'Mike,' ran an international criminal network that hacked the email accounts of small and medium-sized businesses across the globe.
Once the scammers had control of the accounts, they sent fake payment requests to the company's partners and then diverted the funds to accounts they controlled.
One victim was conned into paying $15.4 million, Interpol said.
