‘We still wonder about the motive’ say victims of ‘Spine Collector’ literary crime spree 📚 A prolific scammer adopted hundreds of identities and stole manuscripts from both unknown authors and superstars, but why?
Literary scout Catherine Eccles, of UK agency Eccles Fisher Associates, was among the victims.“We had situations where emails in our names were being sent to our clients, trying to get them to release manuscripts.”
The FBI alleges that Mr Bernardini “registered more than 160 fraudulent Internet domains” and employed hundreds of false identities.Emails also showed detailed knowledge of the publishing industry, including commonly-used acronyms, and release schedules for different markets. The sender targeted publishers in a range of jurisdictions in native languages from Icelandic to Korean.But it could turn nasty after rejections.
Manuscripts that were stolen were still released by publishers or had little value anyway, and there was no sign of them being leaked or sold. No ransom notes appeared.
