A Nebraska man, Charles O. Parks III, is charged with running a long-running cryptojacking fraud that allegedly defrauded two major cloud providers of resources worth $3.5M+ while mining and laundering nearly $1M in cryptocurrency; he purportedly used multiple fake accounts, VPNs, high-powered cloud instances, and rapid account recreation to evade detection and converted mined coins to fiat through wallets, exchanges, and NFT marketplaces before his arrest.
