SAN FRANCISCO — LAWFUEL - US Law Newswire - United States Attorney Scott N. Schools announced that Christina Kyeonghee Kim pleaded guilty today to 48 counts of fraud in connection with an identity-theft scheme that caused more than $1 million in losses, which the defendant admitted she spent on luxury items.

"This crime involved exploiting the Social Security numbers and other very personal information of people who trusted the defendant, including her relatives and college students who worked at her restaurant," USA Schools said. "Abusing other people’s identities is a very serious offense, as is the defrauding of financial institutions. This Office will prosecute these crimes—and all other white-collar offenses—to the fullest extent of the law."
