>It's unclear how much of the ill-gotten gains Chapman pocketed, but according to the Justice Department, Chapman's overseas IT workers received more than $17.1 million for their work.
Probably it was barely even five figures total. These type of operations tend to rely on the naive and desperate who are getting a pittance and unaware of just how much they're generating for their overlords. The full details probably won't be disclosed, but I'm willing to bet the laptops were supplied by a middleman already set up and her involvement was to just make sure they remained plugged in and with an internet connection.
