That is applauded, good and justice prevailed unlike in the internet sectors in India, the fraudsters remain domineering and the victims of fraud suffer big losses.

I don't know why someone has the brain to do internet fraud and would not put that kind of brain in something more noble.

Imagine all the years of reading and studying in school just wasted at the final year. Obviously he must have been influenced by the kind of people he associated with.
