No one is safe from id theft, not even chairman, Ben Bernake, of the Federal Reserve. His personal checking account became an elaborate id theft scheme after his wife, Anna, had her purse stolen last August at a Capital Hill Starbucks. According to a Washington DC police report, it contained her social security card, checkbook, credit cards and IDs.
It's not revealed how much money was stolen from their account but someone started cashing checks on their account just days after the purse was stolen. The thefts helped an ongoing investigation into a sophisticated ring.
Losses from the fraud totaled more than $2.1 million and involved at least 10 financial institutions, court documents said.
