Nail salon employee pleads guilty after holding 13 remote IT jobs worked by developers in China

Quick Summary:

The man had no experience in IT, but let overseas workers use his driver’s license and U.S.passport to get jobs in tech.

Vong allegedly installed remote access software on the company device so that James and his cohort could use it from China.

Vong allegedly told an FBI agent “William” approached him through a cell phone video game app and told Vong he could “legally” make money by getting development jobs and then giving William his computer access credentials.
