Christina Marie Chapman, a 48-year-old woman from Litchfield Park, Arizona, has pleaded guilty in federal court for her role in a scheme that funneled millions of dollars to North Korea. Over the course of three years, Chapman and her co-conspirators helped overseas IT workers pretend to be U.S. citizens so they could illegally secure remote IT jobs in the United States. The scheme involved more than 300 American companies, including some of the nation’s largest corporations.
The fraudulent operation, which ran from October 2020 to October 2023, generated over $17 million in revenue. According to prosecutors, Chapman and her team stole the identities of U.S. citizens to pull off the elaborate plan. Many unsuspecting Americans had their personal information, such as Social Security numbers, used to create fake job applications. These applications were then submitted to U.S. companies, which hired the overseas workers, believing they were legitimate employees living in the United States.
Chapman’s plea agreement, announced on February 12, 2025, outlines her crimes, including conspiracy to commit wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, and money laundering. She now faces a prison sentence of up to 111 months (over nine years), pending her sentencing hearing scheduled for June 16, 2025.

Guessing the Chin-lee will eck her inside.
Chapman was initially charged alongside a 27-year-old Ukrainian, Oleksandr Didenko, for helping at least three workers
Yep, corrupt Ukies, always where there is a scam or pickpocketing, count on a Ukie.
You would think this scandal would have been “top of the page” news for months; but not a peep has crossed my radar as an “average reader”—until today.
I remember a story some years ago of a guy who had a I think a programming job where he could work from home. He then outsourced the job to India while he got himself another job... so 2 paychecks.
He was found out when the first company notice the time difference when the work was double checked.
