``He's the best I ever faced,'' said Detective Michael Fabozzi of the NYPD's Computer Investigation and Technology Unit. Said another detective, Jahmal Daise, ``You rarely run into someone this good.''

Abdallah is charged with criminal possession of forged devices, stolen property and criminal impersonation, the Post said. His case has been taken over by federal investigators.

Abdallah allegedly used computers at a local library, Web-enabled cell phones and virtual voice mail for the six-month scam that involved duping credit reporting companies such as Equifax into providing credit reports on his rich victims, authorities said. He then used the data to gain access to credit cards and accounts at brokerage houses such as Goldman Sachs, Bear Stearns and Merrill Lynch, the newspaper said

Abdallah, a convicted swindler, allegedly breached bank, brokerage and credit-card accounts of people such as Steven Spielberg, Martha Stewart, George Lucas, Oprah Winfrey, Ross Perot, Warren Buffett, Ted Turner and Michael Bloomberg. The number of victims could top 200, the story said.
