Christina Marie Chapman, from Arizona, pleaded guilty to multiple charges connected to a fraudulent scheme that helped overseas IT workers impersonate U.S. citizens to secure remote jobs. Collaborating with these workers from 2020 to 2023, Chapman used stolen identities and false documentation to enable over 300 companies to unknowingly hire foreign workers. This operation resulted in over $17 million in revenue, and it caused significant identity theft issues for more than 70 individuals, impacting their financial and legal standing in the U.S. A sentencing date has been set for June.
Over 300 U.S. companies were impacted and more than 70 U.S. individuals had their identities compromised, with false tax liabilities created in their names.
Chapman created a 'laptop farm' in her home to provide the appearance that overseas IT workers were actually based in the U.S.
