According to DL News, James Watt, a man from Indiana, USA, was sentenced to three years of probation for forging about 30,000 fake ID cards. Court documents show Watt works for an unnamed website that claims to be "the most trusted source of fake ID cards." Within four years, Watt charged 14 bitcoins (about $1.4 million) in return. Law enforcement discovered a forged Missouri ID card during a search of its residence, held by "Thor Thor" and addressed "Big Hammer Way", showing that it had excellent counterfeiting skills. The U.S. Department of Justice has confiscated its illegal gains under court orders.
