Liu Menting 劉孟婷: Registered MTS and foreign bank accounts used to receive and transfer money from the scheme. From 2021 to late 2024, these individuals compromised the identities of more than 80 U.S. persons to obtain remote jobs at over 100 U.S. companies. They participated in a scheme to create credible fake American citizenship documents, register U.S. shell companies and bank accounts, gain technical employment with U.S. companies, receive wages, launder and remit that money to banks and individuals in China, and ultimately facilitate the transmission of the illicit funds to the DPRK regime. The scheme involved assistance from at least four U.S. citizens who hosted employer laptops in the United States through which the DPRK IT workers could, without authorization, remotely access company networks and perform work.

Reward

Rewards for Justice is offering a reward of up to $5 million for information that leads to the disruption of financial mechanisms of persons engaged in certain activities that support North Korea (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, DPRK), including money laundering, exportation of luxury goods to North Korea, specified cyber-activity and actions that support weapons of mass destruction (WMD) proliferation. Such activities include work by highly skilled North Korean nationals sent abroad whose income generates funds for the DPRK regime.
