Duo Who Made $600K Selling Stolen Taylor Swift Tickets Arrested in New York
The Queens District Attorney's office announced this week the arrests of two people who made more than $600,000 selling stolen tickets for Taylor Swift concerts, NBA games and other events. Tyrone Rose, 20, of Kingston, Jamaica, and Shamara P. Simmons, 31, of Jamaica, Queens were arrested Thursday and charged with grand larceny in the second degree, conspiracy in the fourth degree, and two hacking-related charges, computer tampering in the first degree and computer tampering in the fourth degree. According to the DA's office Rose and an unnamed co-conspitator worked at a third party contractor called Sutherland in Jamaica, where they obtained ticket URLS from StubHub. They then sent the tickets by email to Simmons and a unnamed co-conspirator, who then resold them on StubHub. Simmons' co-conspirator has since died. Approximately 993 tickets were stolen from around 350 StubHub orders between June 2022 and July 2023. During this time, the scheme netted approximately $635,000, prosecutors say. The vast majority of stolen tickets were from Swift's blockbuster 'The Eras' tour, but tickets for Adele and Ed Sheeran concerts, the US Open Tennis Championships and NBA games were also pilfered. The arrests took place Feb. 27. The post Duo Who Made $600K Selling Stolen Taylor Swift Tickets Arrested in New York appeared first on TheWrap.
