The same person was later found to be in the possession of 45 SIM cards and a Trezor Wallet used for cryptocurrency account data. Florida police have arrested 25-year-old Ricky Joseph Handschumacher on money laundering and grand theft charges. Police say that for the past two years, the group has been emptying bank accounts through the common mobile phone SIM swap scam.”]
