A Colorado woman has pleaded guilty to participating in a sophisticated “SIM swap” scam allegedly orchestrated out of a suburban Chicago home that led to the $400 million hack of the failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX.
The plea agreement also stated Hernandez is cooperating with the government. Her Maryland-based attorney, Carmen Hernandez, did not immediately return a call seeking comment. The alleged hack occurred Nov. 11, 2022, the same day that FTX collapsed into bankruptcy. Its founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, was later convicted of a massive fraud on investors and was sentenced in March to 25 years in prison.
In November 2022, Hernandez was sent a plane ticket to travel to Utah, where she participated in several SIM swap schemes at Powell’s behest, according to the plea. From there, she traveled to El Paso, Texas, where on Nov. 11 Powell directed them to target “Victim-1,” who was the FTX employee, and passed along the victim’s full name and Social Security Number via encrypted message, according to the plea.
The information was passed back to Powell, and within hours, more than $400 million in Bitcoin went missing from FTX accounts, according to the plea.
