(continuing) Starting to work my way through the Complaint. There are four counts in the complaint, one each of:
Conspiracy to Commit Computer Intrusions;
Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud;
Accessing a Protected Computer to Defraud and Obtain Value; and
Wire Fraud
The complaint does not mention ShinyHunters at all. It mentions his group, “CyberN[------]" extensively and his and the group's activity on a forum that they do not name but is clearly Breach Forums in both its iterations.
From the complaint, it appears that at least one member of CyberN----- is being considered CC-1 (co-conspirator 1). It also appears that West's posts and sales listings on the forums would have raised more than $2 million in sales.
The complaint also details all the OpSec mistakes West made that enabled law enforcement to track his activities and identify him. Making sales to undercover agents was among his poorer decisions, but there were other errors that appear to be more significant, including giving an undercover agent a BTC wallet to make payment to when that wallet had a history that could be analyzed, and the wallet had been created by an online banking account in West's name, etc.
As is typical, the court filing does not name the victim entities, but you may be able to recognize some of them if you were on the forum a lot.
You can read the complaint at https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/media/1404616/dl?inline while I go take a look at the indictment.
“Trump’s clemency for Adriana Camberos was a disaster. Just 42 days after being freed, she’s back in prison for wire fraud. This is what happens when clemency is handed out without real accountability. #TrumpClemency #WireFraud #FailureOfJustice” www.siliconvalley.com/2025/04/27/s...

From MAGA hero to convicted felon—what went wrong for Santos? George "Kitara Ravache" Santos, a former Congressman, has been sentenced to over seven years in prison for federal wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. Despite expressing remorse, a judge questioned the sincerity of his apology. His plea deal includes nearly $580,000 in penalties. Will political intervention be on the horizon?

Noah Urban, aka "King Bob" and a suspected member of Scattered Spider, pleaded guilty this week in a case involving wire fraud, cryptocurrency theft, phishing, and simswapping. He had cases against him in Florida and California. Other people indicted with him have yet to be tried or to make plea deals, and one young man from Scotland has been detained in Spain pending determination of extradition request (I haven't found any update on the extradition case).
