An Arizona woman is going to prison after she helped North Koreans land jobs with American companies.
Christina Marie Chapman, from Litchfield Park, received over eight years in a federal prison after pleading guilty in February to committing wire fraud, aggravated identity theft and conspiracy to launder monetary instruments.
A U.S. Department of Justice press release noted Chapman will have an additional three years of supervised release after completing her prison sentence.
Furthermore, she will need to forfeit $284,556 and pay a judgment of $176,850.
Chapman, 50 years, helped North Koreans obtain remote information technology jobs at 309 American companies. Her scheme garnered over $17 million for herself and North Korea. Sixty-eight people in the United States had their identities stolen as part of this scheme.
Court documents said Chapman helped North Koreans obtain jobs at Fortune 500 companies, a major television network, a Silicon Valley technology company, and a U.S media and entertainment company.
