    El-Hakim said he had been lured into the scheme by a person who went by “AI WORLD” on the social media platform Telegram, according to the affidavit signed by police officers.

    El-Hakim told the bank he was creating fake bank profiles and obtaining lines of credit at the request of the person he was talking to on Telegram, the court document shows.

    The affidavit said the accused also looked at banking profiles at the account’s request; it shows he accessed Carney and Trudeau’s profiles on June 17.

    El-Hakim said he received $500 each time he completed a request, earning a total of about $5,000.

      That’s shockingly low amounts of money for what is obviously criminal behaviour that will be logged by your employer

        Agreed. And it’ll probably make the kid unemployable until he changes his name.

          Criminal records follow name changes so their likelihood of employability would not change.

          Name changes doesn’t give anyone a free pass.

            I wasn’t talking about record checks, I’m referring to googling a potential employee’s name.
