Anthony J. Clark and three others are accused of attempting to hack the servers of EA Sports’ popular game in order to steal “coins” – used to purchase players or packs in the game mode – and sell them on for cash.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has alleged that the quartet made up to $18 million from the scheme.
A jury in Texas reportedly found the defendants guilty of conspiracy to commit wire fraud Thursday, and they now face an anxious wait before sentencing.
The indictment claimed that Clark and his co-defendants created an app that represented the playing of thousands of Ultimate Team matches, thus crediting accounts with coins, which were then sold on illegally to unofficial “coin-selling” sites in Europe and China.
