Christina Marie Chapman has pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including conspiracy to commit wire fraud, after operating a 'laptop farm' from her home for over three years. This scheme involved helping overseas IT workers impersonate US citizens by using local IP addresses. She assisted in identity theft, affecting more than 70 US nationals, allowing the fraudsters to obtain remote jobs. The proceeds, exceeding $17 million, were funneled to North Korea, raising concerns about their potential link to the DPRK's weapons programs. Sentencing is scheduled for June 16.
