20:22Now PlayingAn Arizona woman pleaded guilty to assisting a North Korean fraud scheme.
Christina Marie Chapman of Litchfield Park, Arizona, admitted to helping overseas IT workers who were posing as U.S. citizens and residents.
The scheme generated more than $17 million in illicit revenue for herself and North Korea.
According to court documents, Chapman conspired with overseas IT workers over a three year span to steal the identities of U.S. nationals and used those identities to apply for remote IT jobs. Chapman also transmitted false documents to the Department of Homeland Security. Chapman and her coconspirators obtained jobs at hundreds of U.S. companies, including Fortune 500 corporations.
Chapman received and hosted computers from the U.S. companies, creating a “laptop farm” at her home, so that the companies would believe the workers were in the United States, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Columbia.
Chapman’s overseas IT workers received more than $17.1 million for their work.
