Two cybercrime crew members charged with stealing Taylor Swift concert tickets in $600K StubHub scam: DA

Two Jamaica men, one from Queens and the other from the island nation, were arrested last Thursday and charged for their role in the cybercrime theft of more than 900 concert tickets, the majority of which were for Taylor Swift’s record-shattering Eras Tour.

The ticket URLs were allegedly stolen by two individuals working at a third-party contractor for StubHub in Kingston, Jamaica. The stolen URLs were then emailed to two co-conspirators in Jamaica, Queens, who downloaded the tickets and resold them on StubHub for personal profit, raking in more than $600,000 over the course of one year, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced on Monday.
