Fugitive caught via Facebook updates.

Ironically – or at least funnily – I came across this article while looking for fresh content:

A man on the run, wanted for fraud by US authorities, inadvertently revealed where he was hiding through a series of extravagant Facebook updates.

Maxi Sopo’s updates advertised the fact that he was living the high life in the Mexican resort of Cancun.

So I was ever-so-slightly, barely-triggering-the-needle, blink-and-you’d-miss-it sympathetic towards the guy’s obvious need to keep producing…

He also adding a former US justice department official to his friend list who ended up helping to track him down.

…and then I got better. Because that’s just a doofus move.
