Lithuanian Evaldas Rimasauskas pleaded guilty last week to wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, and money laundering, the sum of which netted him $99 million from Facebook and $23 million from Google. What may sound like a complicated scheme was actually shockingly simple: Rimasauskas sent invoices to Facebook and Google, and the companies paid him. He never delivered any goods or services, but the companies paid him anyway.
