Two American tech executives have pleaded guilty to federal charges for providing infrastructure for Indian call centres to scam elderly Americans out of millions of dollars.
Former CEO Adam Young and former CSO Harrison Gevirtz admitted to routing scam calls through their telecommunications business and advising scammers on bypassing security checks.
The FBI investigation revealed that the duo's business provided services to customers engaged in telemarketing and tech-support fraud schemes targeting vulnerable Americans.
Young and Gevirtz each pleaded guilty to misprision of a felony and are scheduled to be sentenced on June 16, 2026.
The investigation led to the conviction of five India-based telemarketing fraudsters and a former employee of their call routing company.
The scam cost Americans $2.1 billion last year, with Rhode Islanders losing at least $5.7 million.
