Fraud with artificial intelligence in the USA! 129 million dollar profiteering

In the USA, an indictment was prepared against 3 people who imitated the voices and sometimes the appearance of company executives and lawyers using artificial intelligence technology. It was claimed that the suspects, who targeted companies in the UK and the USA, committed approximately 129 million dollars of fraud using this method.

THEY IDENTIFIED COMPANY MANAGERS WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

According to the indictment submitted to the New York District Court, the three suspects targeted thousands of companies around the world for more than a year and a half. The suspects, who allegedly obtained approximately 129 million dollars through an artificial intelligence-supported fraud scheme, imitated the voices and sometimes images of company executives.

It was stated that the suspects targeting companies in the UK and the USA used the sounds and images they created with artificial intelligence technology in phone calls and video meetings.

THEY MADE THEIR EMPLOYEES MEET WITH FAKE LAWYERS

According to court documents, the suspects directed the company employees they met with to contact an attorney at a large law firm.

Then, one of the suspects, impersonating a lawyer, instructed employees to send large amounts of money to bank accounts in different parts of the world.

129 MILLION DOLLARS WERE CONVERTED INTO CRYPTO MONEY

It was stated that the suspects converted the funds into crypto money to hide the source of the money transferred to their bank accounts. It was stated that these assets were later shared between the suspects and other persons participating in the fraud scheme.
