Christina Chapman's North Korea Laptop Farm: A Crime Case
from True Crime Cases You Haven't Heard · host Steve Rhode | Host of the True Crime Podcast
Christina Chapman's North Korea laptop farm is one of the most unusual true crime cases we've covered. A homeless woman in Minnesota received a LinkedIn message that changed everything — and within three years, she was running 90 labeled laptops from her Arizona home, each one enabling a North Korean operative to work at an American company under a stolen name.Built from 402 pages of federal court documents — including the 57-page indictment, sentencing transcript, and Chapman's personal letter to the judge — this episode traces how desperation became complicity, how $17.1 million flowed to North Korea's nuclear weapons program, and why Chapman was grateful when the FBI finally arrested her.Court documents are sent exclusively to subscribers when episodes drop — subscribe now at https://truecrimeunheard.com/subscribe so you don't miss future case files.
