BTCCSquare news:
A U.S.-based TikTok influencer, Christina Marie Chapman, has been sentenced to 102 months in prison for aiding North Korean operatives in securing remote jobs at over 300 American companies, including those in the tech, aerospace, and potentially crypto sectors. The scheme involved a 'laptop farm' setup in Arizona, where stolen identities were used to facilitate the fraud.
Chapman's operation allowed North Korean workers to pose as U.S. employees, funneling over $17 million out of the country. At least 49 devices were shipped overseas, including NEAR the China-North Korea border, with over 90 laptops discovered during a 2023 search of her home. The DOJ confirmed 68 stolen identities were used to deceive 309 U.S. companies.
