A computer hacker faked his own death to avoid paying over $100,000 in outstanding child support to his ex-wife, according to court documents.

Jesse E. Kipf, 39, pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated identity theft and one count of computer fraud at a Kentucky court on March 29.

According to his plea agreement, Kipf accessed the Hawaii death registry system in January 2023 using the details of a doctor living in another state and created paperwork for his own death.

He then “assigned himself as the medical certifier for the case and certified that case”. The deception led to Kipf, who is from Somerset, Kentucky, being listed as dead in many US government databases.

Kipf was also involved in selling access to businesses. His monikers were not publicly revealed and are in a sealed document at this time. But the restitution he agreed to pay as part of the plea deal, embedded below, includes GuestTek Interactive Entertainment and Milestone Inc.
