A wannabe DJ superstar, Denver White (a.k.a. DJ Denver) alledgedly defrauded both iTunes and Amazon out of approximately $1.5 million after using a series of computers to purchase his music using stolen credits cards. Literally thousands of stolen cards were used in the fraud, which came to the attention of the two companies after the no-name DJ bought some many copies of his track he outsold Madonna and rocketed to the top of the iTunes charts. According to prosecutors White and his team behind the scam used up to 24 laptops loaded with trace blocking software to avoid detection, and bought White’s songs over a period of up to a year and a half.
