21 Million German Bank Accounts For Sale 302
anerva writes "Black market criminals are offering to sell details on 21 million German bank accounts for €12M ($15.3M), according to an investigative report (German; Google translation) published Saturday. In November reporters for WirtschaftsWoche (Economic Week) had a face-to-face meeting with criminals in a Hamburg hotel, according to the magazine. Posing as buyers working for a gambling business, the journalists were able to strike a price of €0.55 per record, or €12M for all the data. They were given a CD containing the 1.2 million accounts when they asked for assurances that the information they would be buying was legitimate." 21 million is three in four existing German bank accounts.

All superbly insightful, except for the final sentence. We don't demonize heterosexual relations with adults the same way, and few crimes have such a low rate of apprehension and conviction as rape: yet heterosexual rapists sometimes kill the women they rape. I think murderous babyrapers kill their child victims for the same reason that murderous rapists in general kill woman, and murderous homosexual rapists kill men: sadistic pleasure, unbounded by any moral restraints.
