Man loses $20 million after taking laptop for repairRepair shop couple invented elaborate hoaxNovember 11, 2010, 10:40 AM — Techworld —
A New York couple have been charged with defrauding a wealthy musician to the tune of $20 million (£12.3 million) after he innocently visited their computer servicing company to have a virus removed from his laptop. The hard-to-believe story started in 2004 when moneyed pianist Roger Davidson asked Mount Kisco computer store owners Vickram Bedi, 36, and his Icelandic girlfriend Helga Invarsdottir, 39, to rid his computer of a virus. On learning of Davidson's wealth, the pair are alleged to have concocted an elaborate social engineering scam that defrauded him of somewhere between the $6 million the police have been able to confirm with an upper figure of as much as $20 million. Exactly how they executed the fraud reads like something out of an implausible movie plot.

I hope he get some of his money back, or writes some more successful stuff.
I looked at his discography and nothing looked even remotely familiar. He doesn't have his compositions page up yet. I'm still amazed this guy could amass so much money and I've never heard of him. But then again, I know nothing about jazz. Even still, I've at least heard of the top jazz players.
