The government alleged in court documents that a large enterprise originating from India was involved in stealing $1,236,470 from elderly Americans.
A 24-year-old Indian man has been sentenced to 51 months in prison by a US court for defrauding an elderly American woman out of $150,000 (Rs 1,24,33642) through a computer hacking scheme, according to a US attorney.
The defendant, identified as Sukhdev Vaid from Haryana, India, pleaded guilty to wire fraud charges in December 2023. Prosecutors allege he participated in a wider scheme targeting elderly Americans nationwide, resulting in over $1.2 million in total losses.
On February 14th, the court further ordered that upon release from custody, Vaid would be remanded to the Bureau of Customs and Immigration Enforcement for deportation and ordered Vaid to pay $1,236,470 (Rs 10,24,92172) in restitution.
