So now the big question is, where's all that money stored? Can the authorities get the money back? If yes, will the government keep it, and on what grounds can they? Could the victims get their money back? How long will this take to be ironed out for a fair deed?

NZ teen convicted of cyber crime
A New Zealand teenager accused of being the ringleader of an international cyber-crime network has been convicted. Owen Thor Walker, 18, admitted six charges of using computers for illegal purposes and will be sentenced in May.
Police allege the group infiltrated more than one million computers and used them to skim at least $20.4m (£10.3m) from private bank accounts. He was detained last November as part of an FBI investigation into global botnets - networks of hijacked PCs.
