UK teen arrested for e-fraud
A 14-year-old Londoner described by his grandmother as "an angel" was arrested for selling 20,000 pounds ($37,800) worth of "non-existent gear" via his Web site, The Register reports. He started his e-commerce operation in a bedroom at her house. "By the time the police had tracked down the boy his operation was so successful that he had rented an office and even hired staff," according to The Register, which adds that Grandmother told the press, "He is an angel and never been in trouble. I'm going to kill him when I get hold of him."
