"Kejia Wang's network stole the identities of more than 80 Americans, forged fake social security cards and California driver's licenses, and filed false employment forms with the Department of Homeland Security."
"The scheme generated more than $5 million in salary payments from victim companies, leading to at least $3 million in legal fees and computer clean-up costs across 28 states and the District of Columbia."
"The Wang prison terms bring the number of Americans convicted for aiding North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's government to at least seven since last year, including a former U.S. Army soldier and others."
Kejia Wang, sentenced to nine years in prison, led a fraud operation that placed North Korean IT workers in over 100 American companies. His network stole identities of 80 Americans, forged documents, and generated over $5 million in salary payments. The fallout from the scheme caused at least $3 million in legal fees and cleanup costs. Another participant, Zhenxing Wang, received nearly eight years in prison. This case adds to the growing number of Americans convicted for aiding North Korea's government, totaling at least seven since last year.
