This is the network that's been harassing your email account with Nigerian Prince and fake romance scams over the years... The main guy was actually arrested in Nigeria. I think where he probably fell apart was he stole $15 million from one person. Had he kept stealing from middle class and poor people there probably wouldn't have ever been enough interest to pursue him. But he stole from a rich person and I'll bet they are the ones with the connections to kick Interpol into action.
