Visualizing Credit Card Fraud

While surfing around looking for clues on unrelated material I stumbled across a great visualization of credit card fraud for 2008 by Vincent Granville. I guess this could be used as metaphor for internet crime, but more importantly I think you can see either target areas or areas where a higher density of the criminal element exist. If you focus closely you can see the blip on the map (California Area) where Max Vision/Butler setup his cyber crime syndicate.  

Enjoy the thousand words below. :)
