Three Indiana residents charged in nationwide sim-swapping conspiracy

Posted on November 14, 2024 by Dissent

Three Indiana residents have been charged with conspiracy in connection with a SIM-swapping operation.

According to the sealed indictment filed on Nov. 7, 2024, Indigo Kiara Graham, 27, Cortez Tarmar Crawford, 22, and Trevon Demar Allen, 30, all residents of Elkhart, Indiana , allegedly conspired with each other and others to unjustly enrich themselves by targeting victims for SIM (subscriber identity module) swaps.

All three defendants were arrested yesterday and made their initial appearances in federal court in South Bend, Indiana. The indictment was unsealed today.

The indictment describes how beginning around April 2023 to around May 2024, the defendants allegedly created fraudulent identification documents in victims’ names, performed SIM swaps in exchange for money, and fraudulently obtained two-factor authentication codes, thereby accessing and stealing victims’ money and data, extorting victims for money in exchange for restoring access to data, and concealing the ill-gotten funds through cryptocurrency transactions.  Graham and Crawford are also charged with committing aggravated identity theft in connection with one incident involving both Graham and Crawford and a second incident involving only Crawford at a mobile service provider store in El Cerrito, Calif.

All three defendants were released and ordered to appear on Dec. 4, 2024, for their initial appearances before the Honorable Kandis A. Westmore, U.S. Magistrate Judge.
