However you feel about hybrid or remote working, it's clear that the option to work from home offers many more opportunities for folks both near and far, but the US Department of Justice has recently shared a bizarre story that highlights a rarely seen dark side.
According to a recent press release from the DOJ, a woman from Arizona has been imprisoned for her part in facilitating a remote work scam that generated "more than $17 million in illicit revenue" for North Korea (via The Guardian). Back in February of this year, Christina Chapman pleaded guilty to "conspiracy to commit wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, and conspiracy to launder monetary instruments," resulting in an eight year prison sentence.
