A cashier with a photographic memory used his special talent to memorize 1,300 credit cards to use for nefarious purposes, police say.
Yuske Taniguchi was arrested for using his photographic memory to memorize the names, credit card numbers and expiration dates of credit cards belonging to 1,300 customers at his part time job at Tokyo mall.
Japan Today reports that Taniguchi, 34, then used the credit card information to finance his basic living expenses and purchase luxury items online.
Police were tipped off after Taniguchi purchased a pair of shoulder bags totaling over $2,500, and had the bags delivered to his apartment.
A search of his apartment turned up a notebook containing names and numbers that police are using to investigate the credit card fraud.
According to Japan Today, readers were amazed by Taniguchi’s talent, but they wondered why he didn’t put his skill to better use.
“Isn’t there any job where he can use that talent?” one person asked.
Instead of going to Vegas and counting cards?
If only you used your powers for good – DUMMY! Why not go to MIT somewhere and become a billionaire?
So it is true about them and numbers…
I used my photographic memory in college and law school. I can close my eyes and I see information I’ve read. I also use it to play memory games. This guy is a mess.
I used mine to get 3 degrees. So sad how somebody can use a gift like that.
that is amazing!! wow. bad what he did but wow.
I was just about to say I used mine in college to help with exams. I used to read textbooks page for page in my mind for answers during tests. It just shows we’re good people cause I bet like me, the thought of doing something like this never even crossed your mind.
Not even once! Smfh. Some people just waste themselves away. Now it’ll be hard to get even a fast food job
Such a waste of a God given gift! Imagine all the lives he could potentially save as a doctor.
Lol!
I got 4 degrees and my memory was shot. Lol!
I close my eyes and see zilch ?
If he got a photographic memory, why in God’s name would he have a notebook at his house with……..Nevermind ?????
Ha ha
looool
I’m sick of cc scamers making it difficult for everyone else. Because of them these cc companies take forever to refund your money if you dispute a charge. Even Amex gives you a hard time now.
Me too
Exactly….
Wow his photographic memory couldnt picture him in a jail cell. I guess his battery died
Bullshît he wrote them down ?
Dude is full of it lol he probably just didn’t want to give up his connect so he came up with this photographic memory bull smh
Could’ve worked for Japan’s secret service or whatever they have that’s similar.
Facts!!! Foh he ain’t that smart because if he was he would’ve did it way bigger ?
?? exactly
Seee? He has zero excuses!!!!
What a dummy getting stuff sent to his apartment stealing like they can’t trace it. Not so smart after all
My sister is the same way she can see a credit or social security card once and no the number instanly
???? right
Not so bright bc if he was he wouldn’t be stealing anyway. A loser
If I were a criminal, this…that is all…lol
Lol! Honestly though
He had all the memory but none of the sense! Like come on sir you really sent it to your house? Your house? Smh
LMAO?
So smart you dumb
I agree. what I have learned about asia is they love a good story. they use storys as examples. so instead of -Taniguchi used cameras to steal info- it becomes- Taniguchi a unmarried cashier has a photographic memory-.
I would have a couple of nice runs and then stop going before they caught on.
Glad to know the Japanese have losers too
???????????????
You should’ve been at the casino ?????
Some criminals are the most brilliant minds imaginable…
yep them asians , that’s what they’re good at , memorizing.
Never thought they were actually very book smart, they just know word for word in a book. in high school i was friends with a girl like that, she had no sense, literally no common sense but she could memorize the hell out a book
??
He could have used that in a good way and get paid and stay out of jail.
Or Google Len’s with a camera ?
Playing black jack like a mofo
i also have a photographic memory…but i dont use it for evil lol
and could be very wealthy if employed in the right organization.
He needs to fly straight to Las Vegas
Some people don’t aspire to be anything other than crooks.

The series American greed would freak u out.
A wallpaper full of lottery tickets
Chile l used my photographic memory looking between men legs memorizing how big the dyck is so l wont make the same mistake twice ????
I can’t memorize shit to save my fucking life. ?
I don’t have a degree because my short term memory is terrible..? I wasnt paying for that shit. Ive made it work tho
For a second there I thought they would say he was from India. They too are good with numbers and memorizing stuff. #stereotyping.
Go to bed, h0t…alone!
when i was a kid i could memorize phone numbers like no ones business then came smart phones where you store them numbers and dial by name
I like what you just said.
I’m rolling over in the bed laughing at what you just said.
Lmfao. You all are killing me laughing with these hilarious comments.
“When came smart phones where you store them numbers and dial by name”
Ha,ha,ha, right!
I still can’t remember my mom’s cell phone number, but I know her landline number like no one’s business.
Glad I can make you laugh!
They’d probably ban his a** in a heartbeat.

Lmaooo!!!
Smart phones dumb us all down.. I’m almost certain that many of us have lost our brain power due to these things
Y’all STUNTING HARD in this comment section ? putting my measly lil BSN to shame ??
You are so special ?
I need to borrow your brain for one my tests tomorrow ?
That is a person that is very good with numbers. I’ve heard of employees at restaurants taking a photo of your credit card and using it but this right here is amazing, I wish I had a memory like that.
? ha!!
KEEP THEM COMING.
Its memorizing just like you said…they can recite word for word but when it comes to explanations or scope of work in their dissertations they freeze up because they have to free form a thought and think for themselves…and if they dont pass the class they have one more time or they will be on PT status which will be reported to ISS which would lead to canceling their student visas…one student jumped in front of the train a few years ago when this happened to her and she got notified that her student status was revoked…
You would expect some one of that caliber to use that knowledge towards something better than that.

More like he took a snap shot with his cell.
Most online orders require the three digit
code on the back of the card.
LOOOL
