A Dishonest Day's Work
Wow, this is an odd story. Apart from guessing who they are, it makes you wonder though - if they went to all of the trouble of getting their hands on stolen credit cards, why didn't they use them to just buy something more valuable? Sure the royalties angle is an interesting one, but it makes me doubt how true this story is (or maybe the people involved just weren't that smart).
It just a way to launder the money via false accounts rather than risk having stuff delivered or personal/in person risk - one step removed so to speak, it's a pretty old trick and seeing as it would probably stand out a mile a silly one.
