Aussie Millionaire ZhenyaTsvetnenko, Extradited Over Massive Horoscope Scam
A dual Australian-Russian citizen has been extradited to the
U.S. for his alleged role in a massive cell phone scam, in which users were
unwittingly charged $9.99 per month for horoscopes, celebrity gossip, and
trivia.
According to a press release published by the Department of
Justice on Friday, Eugeni “Zhenya” Tsvetnenko and his co-conspirators defrauded
the cell phone customers of more than $41 million, netting over $20 million.
Tsvetnenko reportedly once enjoyed an opulent lifestyle; he
hosted Snoop Dogg at his birthday party and arrived at his wedding with his
now-estranged wife in a horse-drawn carriage. Tsvetnenko has previously denied
wrongdoing.
