The self-proclaimed "fraud God" of Irvine, California was arrested Friday. According to the Irvine Police Department, their Directed Enforcement Team (DET) made contact with Ryan John Hein, 44, of Yorba Linda outside a storage facility on Warner and found him carrying multiple fraudulent documents and narcotics.
During a search of his storage unit, DET found credit card skimmers (devices that record credit card numbers), fraudulent DMV paperwork, card printers, and other "tools used by fraudulent trade."
Hein was arrested and booked into the Irvine jail on numerous charges, including narcotics and fraud. The incident remains under investigation.
