Malaysian linked to $210m card scam

A Malaysian will be extradited by Thai police to the United States where he is wanted in connection with credit card fraud amounting to US$150 million (RM505 million).

Gooi Kok Seng, aka Delpiero, 44, is wanted by US authorities to face charges of illegal possession of a data access device, illegal dealing in a data access device and hacking into a computer.

A source from the Federal Commercial Crime Investigation Department said they were waiting for a report from their Thai counterparts.

It is understood that Malaysian police were aware of Gooi's arrest in January.
