According to the allegations in the indictment, the defendants conspired to participate in a multi-year fraudulent scheme to obtain remote IT work to generate revenue for the government of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The scheme was allegedly carried out by facilitators in the United States who assisted others working on behalf of the DPRK to be hired as remote IT workers with U.S. companies, including by receiving and hosting laptop computers issued by victim companies at their residences. In total, the scheme impacted more than 70 U.S. company employers and generated approximately $3 million in revenue for IT workers, which is believed to have been sent to sanctioned entities controlled by the DPRK. An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt.
