Bernanke personal bank account struck by ID theft - Yahoo! News
Description
An elaborate identity theft scheme has reached the highest levels of the U.S. financial system, striking the personal bank account of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and his wife.

According to a D.C. police report, Anna Bernanke's purse was stolen last August from her chair at a Capitol Hill Starbucks. It contained her Social Security card, checkbook and IDs.

From there, the Bernankes' checking account was swept up into a larger scheme first reported by Newsweek magazine Tuesday.
