A computer-savy teen was re-arrested in a brazen scheme to pilfer up to $25 million from the Georgia Department of Revenue, officials said.
Alleged con artist Charles Turner, 19, was booked on suspicion of attempting numerous times to hoodwink state tax collectors into sending him a massive amount of money.
Turner allegedly set up two bogus online businesses offering to sell electronic goods. But instead of delivering the products, he used bank account information and check routing numbers he got from customers in his illicit scheme.
Turner was arrested after prosecutors dropped forgery charges against him.
He committed the tax refund swindle from his mother's home in suburban Atlanta.
