- tinco 10y agoYes. And there's a good chance that now that it's in international media and the scope is so large the king will catch wind of it and the repercussions for these guys will not be good. In Nigeria you might get away with stuff like this. But Morocco is besides an Islamic country also one with ambitions, good ties to Europe and increasingly modern infrastructure (as evidenced by their Internet racket). If I were them and I read this news article, I'd be putting my Japanese motorbike and German car on the boat and cross gibraltar. I bet it's not too hard to become a Spanish citizen if you have money.

- lb1lf 10y agoPresumably that depends on the laws of the jurisdiction in which the act takes place - and, of course - lawyers could probably argue for years which country's laws are applicable in this case. Adding to this, it may be a very shrewdly chosen scam, as the crime (in some jurisdictions) of engaging in a sexual liaison without having the necessary paperwork in order may be graver than the one of blackmail. Hence, even victims not giving in to the original scheme may find themselves unwilling or unable to report the scam to the authorities. Clever.
