Full story here (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8306032.stm#id8300000/8306400/8306495-audio)

Quote from: BBC News

A man on the run, wanted for fraud by US authorities, inadvertently revealed where he was hiding through a series of extravagant Facebook updates.

Cameroon-born Maxi Sopo's messages made it clear he was living the high life in the Mexican resort of Cancun.

He also added a former US justice department official to his friend list who ended up helping to track him down.

Never underestimate the stupidity of criminals!
