US Department of Justice: Canadian Cybercriminal Sentenced to One Year in Jail for NFT Fraud
BlockBeats News, July 30: The U.S. Department of Justice announced that a Canadian individual was sentenced to one year in prison yesterday for conspiracy to commit telecommunications fraud, telecommunications fraud, and conspiracy to commit aggravated identity theft.
According to court documents, 22-year-old Cameron Albert Redman orchestrated a plan to steal non-fungible tokens (NFTs) by gaining unauthorized access to multiple digital artists' X accounts. Redman and his accomplices used these artists' online identities to redirect their fans to a fraudulent website, where the victims would attempt to claim new NFTs from these digital artists.
Although the victims believed they were authorizing a transaction to have the NFTs transferred to their digital wallets, they were unknowingly allowing the conspirators to steal cryptocurrency and NFTs from their wallets. Reportedly, Cameron Albert Redman and his associates defrauded over 200 victims, profiting over $794,000.
