Kim Schmitz Arrested in Thailand

Whatever he planned next, it will never materialise: Kim "Kimble" Schmitz has been arrested in Thailand. The 'King of the Hackers' has been accused of insider dealing, by which he allegedly made 1.5 million euros.

Munich computer expert Schmitz, sought internationally for his fraudulent insider dealing, was apprehended in Bangkok. The public prosecutor from Munich I confirmed on Friday a report to that effect by 'Teleboerse Online'. The 27 year-old was accused of using insider knowledge to buy shares for 375,000 euros, then selling them off shortly afterwards for 1.5 million euros.

Now we must wait to see how this develops, and when the accused will be handed over to Germany, said a representative of the public prosecutor's office. On the advice of the state supervisory office for bond trading, the Munich authorities have initiated inquiries and obtained the arrest warrant through Munich's law courts.

He then tried insider-trading. Had a deal with the owners of well known but almost bankrupted internet startup in europe, made a press appearence saying he and his "investors" were going to save the company. Stock prices soared up, the owners and kimble sold a bunch of stock, it come out just a few days later and the stock price crashed again.

He got arrested for that and for misusing his investors' money.

He now lives in Hong Kong, or so they say, and his rebuilding his stuff, scamming new investors, he is very good at convincing people that his ideas are great.
