**Executive summary:** The DOJ arrested a Nashville man accused of running a laptop farm that provided stolen U.S. identities, housing, and remote-accessed company laptops to North Korean IT workers who then appeared to be U.S.-based employees, generating significant revenue for North Korea's weapons program; this is the second U.S. arrest in similar schemes and spurred a DOJ/FBI initiative to identify and shut down domestic enablers.
