The (Glasgow, Scotland) Daily Record:Two poker aces who stole Â£150,000 (U.S. $301,000) from ATMs to fund a Las Vegas gambling spree have been busted and are facing jail time. Brothers Mohammed Imran and Mohammed Irfan pocketed the cash during a period of just three days, exploiting a loophole in the ATM system to carry out the scam. The glitch allowed Imran, 33, and Irfan, 36, to overcome the security of ATMs by simply using an expired keycard.
