Wow! Interesting that it took him some time to get caught. I guess it's the extreme form of fake it till you make it.

Good job to the Marc Jacobs employee for catching it and following up on it!

It always amazes me that people think they can get away with this kind of thing indefinitely.

It's a shame because he sometimes features some really nice design and art on the blog.

What I don't understand how he could use a stolen card if the owner knew it was stolen - it should have been cancelled in this case. It sounds really unlikely to me that diffrence in the name was the reason he was caught and not the fact that he tried to use a stolen card. (sorry, I work in banking )

Sveta, yes, especially with Amex cards! Amex is incredibly diligent.

Hmm. I think it shows us up as pretty hollow. Branding works.

Maybe the owner only knew it was stolen when called from the store? The couple of times my number has been stolen, I only knew when the fraudulent charges appeared or the credit card company called me asking about them :(.
