July 23, 2014 StubHub Russian Hacking Fraud Case Seven people have been arrested across the US, Britain, Canada and Spain after they allegedly hacked into 1,600 StubHub accounts and stole more than $1.6 million in tickets. Russian national and suspect Vadim Polyakov, 30, was arrested while vacationing in Spain. He and Nikolay Matveychuk, 21, were allegedly buying the tickets illegally, then e-mailing them to three Americans, Daniel Petryszyn, 28, Laurence Brinkmeyer, 29, and Bryan Caputo, 29. The three resold the tickets and worked with several people, including Sergei Kirin, 37, of Russia, to launder the money with PayPal and money transfers.
