clue
Lead #3How many American citizens had their identities stolen by Kaverzina, and are there additional victims beyond the six counts of aggravated identity theft?
Irina Viktorovna Kaverzina, a Russian national working for the St. Petersburg-based Internet Research Agency, is wanted by the FBI for her alleged role in a conspiracy to defraud the United States by interfering with federal agencies and the 2016 Presidential Election through coordinated social media operations from 2014 to February 2018. She allegedly used stolen personal information of American citizens to open fraudulent PayPal and bank accounts in support of the IRA's disinformation campaign. Despite an active federal warrant issued in February 2018, Kaverzina remains at large with suspected ties to Russia, and locating her is critical to understanding the full scope of foreign interference in U.S. elections.
