The U.S. will get a rare chance to prosecute one of the world's most-wanted cybercriminal suspects with the extradition of a Turkish man accused of orchestrating a global operation to hack automated teller machines.

Ercan Findikoglu, 33, boarded a flight to New York on Tuesday after losing his fight against extradition from a German prison, according to a law enforcement official who asked for anonymity because the operation wasn't yet public. He was arrested during a trip to Frankfurt by German authorities in December 2013 after eluding U.S. capture for five years.

Findikoglu allegedly organized a criminal operation that stole $40 million in cash from ATMs within 10 hours in February 2013 in New York City and 23 other countries, according to a ruling in his extradition case from the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany. The so-called unlimited cash out operations used hacked debit cards with withdrawal limits removed to make ATMs spew money.

    The reas our constitution provides for the separation of church and state is to keep all the christians from murdering each other.

    When I was at cern I was dumbfounded by the display ads in the perfume shops at french shopping malls.

    many of those religious zealots were my ancestors.

    I once speculated that I was related to David Koresh, as my aunt was a seventh day adventists from waco, but no, he converted.

    so your chips, i have two theories.

    One is that someone regards them as the mark of the best. I myself think that way of sellers permits, more commonly known as resale licenses. they arevrequired for dealing with sakes taxes.

    Maybe some figured they were too expensive. Consider that there was a huge public outcry when it was prposed to outlaw the manufacture of incandescent light bulbs.

    Well, my country banned them (or at least made them impossible to buy). It's annoying because I liked to use them as little heaters - to warm fermenters and such like. Lumens per watt was of no interest - I just wanted the warmth.
