This case isn’t the story of a criminal mastermind — it’s the story of a woman who quietly turned her Arizona home into a pipeline for North Korean operatives simply because she never once stopped to ask, “Should I be doing this?” Christina Chapman built a “laptop farm,” laundered millions, forged federal documents, and handed hostile foreign actors access to major U.S. companies… all while narrating her crimes in chat logs like she thought no one would ever read them. It’s bleak, it’s bizarre, and it’s a reminder that sometimes the biggest threat to national security isn’t a spy or a hacker — it’s an ordinary person making catastrophically stupid choices over and over again.
