The owner of a Redmond tobacco shop was sentenced to nearly three
years in prison today for skimming credit cards. Here's the U.S.
Attorney's Office news release:

HRANT "MIKE" ASLANYAN, 38, of Redmond, Washington, was sentenced today
in U.S. District Court in Seattle to 33 months in prison, five years
of supervised release and over $214,000 in restitution for Bank Fraud.
ASLANYAN, the owner of a small tobacco and convenience store, pleaded
guilty on June 13, 2008, admitting that he skimmed the debit and
credit card numbers of more than 300 of his store customers. Those
stolen numbers were used to steal money or incur credit from seventeen
different banks. At sentencing U.S. District Judge Ricardo S. Martinez
said, "This type of crime victimizes totally innocent people who are
just going about their daily business." Judge Martinez ordered
ASLANYAN taken into custody immediately to begin serving his sentence.
