How a hacker network turned stolen press releases into $100 million - The Verge

'They confiscated Ieremenko and Turchynov’s laptops, uncovering hundreds of press releases as well as chat logs relating to the scheme. '

'An FBI forensic specialist testified that they were unable to reconstruct deleted attachments, which they believed were press releases. '

'The combined total of profits made public by the SEC stands at over $100 million, but that represents only a fraction of the money authorities believe was made off the stolen press releases. '

'For someone like Korchevsky, a registered US investment adviser with over a decade of experience, the stolen press releases were easy money. '

'Law enforcement then found evidence of press releases on the laptop the Mexican authorities confiscated. '
