$500,000 Stolen from Celebrity and Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines (More Evidence of Poor Security)
www.Miami Herald 05/23/06 by David Ovalle
After a year-long investigation, authorities on Tuesday charged Magdalena Moya with selling scores of illegally booked trips aboard Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises. Moya, 53, was charged with grand theft, organized fraud and five counts of money laundering. Also, she was charged with 209 counts of crimes against computer users, for every ticket she allegedly sold.
Bond was set for $1.1 million. Detectives say the scheme may have dated back to the early 1990s. Police also say they seized more than $250,000 from her bank account, money illegally earned from the scheme. The total loss to the cruise line in this case exceeds $500,000, according to police.
This is in addition to $400,000 in cash that was stolen from Carnival Cruise Lines - see our posting for August 12, 2006. If the two largest cruise lines cannot provide security for themselves and their employees, it is a good bet that they do not provide good security for their customers. They don't even keep statistical records so there is no way to tell who bad the problem is.
