International Fraud Scheme Used AI to Impersonate Corporate Executives

Three foreign nationals have been charged in connection with an alleged international fraud scheme that federal prosecutors say used AI technology to impersonate corporate executives and attorneys and steal more than $129 million. All three are accused of participating in a scheme that ran from July 2024 to February 2026 involving the use of artificial intelligence to impersonate the voices and images of corporate executives and attorneys at major law firms to trick employees of several companies into transferring large sums of money to bank accounts controlled by the group, according to a press release from the U.S. attorney’s office.
