The indictment, filed Wednesday in Missouri federal court, alleged that the conspiracy generated at least $88 million between April 2017 and March 2023.

All 14 defendants are charged with conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, as well as conspiracy to commit wire fraud, money laundering and identity theft. Eight of the conspirators are also charged with aggravated identity theft.
