The suspects were allegedly ordered to seek salaries of $10,000 a month from their US employers. On top of the monthly wage, they would also raise funds for the North Korean regime by stealing valuable company information and threatening to leak it unless the employer made an extortion payment.
Investigators believe the suspects are in North Korea making it unlikely that they will ever face justice. Still, the US State Department has announced that it will offer a reward of up to $5m for anyone who can provide more information on the suspects as well as Yanbian and Volasys.
'While we have disrupted this group and identified its leadership, this is just the tip of the iceberg,' said Ashley T. Johnson, special agent in charge of the FBI's field office in St Louis.
