Two individuals who allegedly stole and resold Taylor Swift "Eras Tour" tickets were arrested. The pair reportedly made a $600,000 profit off the scheme.
"According to the charges, these defendants tried to use the popularity of Taylor Swift’s concert tour and other high-profile events to profit at the expense of others," Katz said in a press release. "They allegedly exploited a loophole through an offshore ticket vendor to steal tickets to the biggest concert tour of the last decade and then resold those seats for an extraordinary profit of more than $600,000."
Rose and Simmons were charged with grand larceny in the second degree, computer tampering in the first degree, conspiracy in the fourth degree and computer tampering in the fourth degree. They each face up to 15 years in prison.
