Times Online – US investigators use Facebook to track down wanted man Maxi Sopo:
What’s wrong with making friends on Facebook? Nothing — unless you happen to be a fugitive from US justice, living the good life at a Mexican holiday resort after allegedly stealing more than $200,000 (£125,000) through a bank scam in Seattle.
But Maxi Sopo, 26, a native of Cameroon, didn’t think twice before logging on to the popular social networking site and making a ‘friend request’ to a man he had met while out drinking in a Cancun nightclub.
Unfortunately for Sopo, he had no idea that the man in question was a former US Justice Department official.
Bonus! Lamebook, “the funniest and lamest of Facebook.”
