Christina Chapman, 50, an Arizona woman who pleaded guilty to charges connected to the global North Korean IT workers scheme, has been sentenced to 8.5 years in federal prison. According to court documents, Chapman helped North Korean workers fraudulently obtain remote-work jobs at U.S. companies. It is perpetrating fraud on American citizens, American companies, and American banks.
