An Arizona woman has been sentenced to more than eight years in prison for her role in a complex fraud scheme. Christina Marie Chapman, 50, from Litchfield Park, helped North Korean workers get remote jobs at U.S. companies by using fake American identities. The scheme ran from October 2020 to October 2023 and generated more than $17 million.
Chapman was sentenced to 102 months in prison on Thursday after pleading guilty in February. She faced charges including conspiracy to commit wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, and conspiracy to launder money. Money laundering through technology has become increasingly sophisticated, with some experts even suggesting Trump’s NFT trading cards could be a laundering scheme. Anyway, the case was handled in the District of Columbia, where several other people have been charged for similar schemes involving North Korean workers.
