"Kejia Wang supervised at least five US facilitators that ran laptop farms hosting hundreds of laptops from US victim companies, generating over $5 million in illegal proceeds for the North Korean government."
"The two created multiple shell companies to make it appear as if overseas workers were affiliated with US-based companies, while these businesses had no employees and received millions in payments from victim companies."
"Kejia Wang was sentenced to 108 months in prison and ordered to forfeit $600,000 in illegal proceeds, while Zhenxing Wang received a 92-month sentence."
Kejia Wang and Zhenxing Wang were sentenced for their involvement in a scheme that compromised over 80 identities to secure jobs at over 100 companies. The operation generated over $5 million for North Korea and caused over $3 million in losses to US companies. They supervised facilitators who hosted laptops for remote access by overseas workers posing as US IT staff. Both were sentenced to prison and ordered to forfeit illegal proceeds, with additional restitution for Kejia Wang. Nine other individuals related to the scheme remain at large.
