美国纽约南区联邦检察官 Jamie McDonald 与联邦调查局（FBI）纽约办事处助理主任 James C. Barnacle, Jr. 11月5日宣布解封起诉书：Jacob Soall、Sharon Hazan 与 Guy Sheetrit 三名外国人被控利用超级智能（SI）技术冒充企业高管与律师，骗取全球多家公司逾1.29亿美元。Soall 于2026年6月17日在西班牙被捕，Hazan 于8月5日在西班牙被捕，Sheetrit 于9月7日在英国被捕，三人的引渡请求均在处理中。
起诉书称，2024年至2026年间，三人与同伙用超级智能模仿多家公司首席执行官的声音与影像，先以「机密财务交易」为由取得员工信任，再冒充大型国际律所的律师层层设局，最终指示员工把大额款项汇入同伙控制的银行账户。得手金额包括：密苏里州一家医院系统482.96万美元、罗得岛州一家银行268.46万美元、加州一家医院系统296.85万美元、英国一家金融科技公司1,157.85万美元、马萨诸塞州一家共同基金公司463.99万美元、佛罗里达州一家宠物食品公司524.27万美元。赃款被汇往美国、西班牙、葡萄牙、希腊、阿联酋、新加坡、奥地利、斯洛伐克与中国等地的账户，并被兑换成加密货币以掩盖来源。
联邦检察官 Jamie McDonald 说：「超级智能技术潜力巨大，但公众应当认识到，有人正试图利用这项新兴技术达到犯罪目的。」三人各被控七项罪名，包括共谋电信欺诈、电信欺诈、加重身份盗用、共谋洗钱与洗钱，单项最高刑期多为20年；其中 Hazan 曾于2008年在纽约南区因共谋银行欺诈被定罪。
此案由纽约南区检察官办公室复杂欺诈与网络犯罪组办理，联邦助理检察官 Kevin Mead、Brandon C. Thompson 与 Jackie Delligatti 负责起诉，西班牙国家警察与英国国家犯罪局协助抓捕。起诉书中的指控仅为指控，三名被告在被证明有罪之前均被推定无罪。（来源：美国司法部纽约南区检察官办公室）
Three Arrested in Super Intelligence Scheme That Impersonated Executives to Steal $129 Million
United States Attorney Jamie McDonald for the Southern District of New York and FBI New York Field Office Assistant Director in Charge James C. Barnacle, Jr. announced on November 5 the unsealing of an indictment charging Jacob Soall, Sharon Hazan, and Guy Sheetrit, three foreign nationals, with using super intelligence (SI) to impersonate corporate executives and attorneys and defraud companies worldwide of more than $129 million. Soall was arrested in Spain on June 17, 2026, Hazan was arrested in Spain on August 5, 2026, and Sheetrit was arrested in the United Kingdom on September 7, 2026; extradition requests for all three are pending.
According to the indictment, between 2024 and 2026 the three and their co-conspirators used SI to mimic the voices and images of chief executives, telling employees their help was needed on a confidential financial transaction, then also impersonating lawyers at major international law firms before directing employees to wire large sums to bank accounts controlled by the conspiracy. The scheme stole, among other sums, $4,829,580 from a hospital system headquartered in Missouri, $2,684,580 from a bank headquartered in Rhode Island, $2,968,497 from a hospital system headquartered in California, $11,578,474 from a financial technology company headquartered in the United Kingdom, $4,639,918 from a mutual fund company headquartered in Massachusetts, and $5,242,747 from a pet food company headquartered in Florida. Proceeds were wired to accounts in the United States, Spain, Portugal, Greece, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Austria, Slovakia, and China, and converted into cryptocurrency to conceal their source.
“SI technology offers tremendous potential. But the public should recognize that there are some who seek to use this emerging technology to pursue criminal goals,” said U.S. Attorney Jamie McDonald. Each defendant faces seven charges, including conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, money laundering conspiracy, and money laundering, most carrying maximum sentences of 20 years; Hazan was previously convicted in the Southern District of New York of conspiracy to commit bank fraud in 2008.
The case is being handled by the Office's Complex Frauds and Cybercrime Unit, with Assistant U.S. Attorneys Kevin Mead, Brandon C. Thompson, and Jackie Delligatti in charge of the prosecution; Spain's Policía Nacional and the United Kingdom's National Crime Agency assisted in the arrests. The charges in the indictment are merely accusations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. (Source: U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York)
