Part 6/8:
As Max continued to expand Carders Market, law enforcement initiated a strategic plan to dismantle his operation. Undercover agents infiltrated rival platforms and worked with informants to trace illegal activities back to Max. In a critical breakthrough, the FBI linked associates in Max’s criminal circle to sales of stolen credit card information, propelling authorities closer to uncovering Iceman's identity.
The eventual arrest in 2007 was marked by a dramatic entry into Max's home, leading to the seizure of encrypted computers containing millions of stolen credit card numbers. The information acquired revealed an extensive operation amounting to potential losses of $86.4 million.
