ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) — A woman has been convicted of defrauding Amazon out of more than $9 million in a scheme based out of a north Georgia warehouse.

Last Friday, a federal jury convicted Brittany Hudson of all 30 counts, including conspiracy, wire fraud, money laundering and forgery. She will face sentencing on June 16, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia.

Hudson owned Legend Express LLC, a company that contracted with Amazon to deliver packages. According to information presented in court, she and her girlfriend Kayricka Wortham, then an operations manager at an Amazon warehouse in Smyrna, collaborated to submit fake invoices and profit off the proceeds.

From January to June 2022, the two collected about $9.4 million from Amazon and funneled it into bank accounts controlled by them and co-conspirators. They then used the money to buy a house worth nearly $1 million in Smyrna and several sports cars, the attorney’s office said.

In September 2022, the two were charged in federal court with defrauding Amazon. But they told a potential business partner that the charges had been dismissed, forging two judges’ signatures in a document as “proof.”

In June 2023, Wortham was sentenced to 16 years in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, after pleading guilty to fraud. She was ordered to pay all the money back to Amazon in restitution.

Since then, she has also pleaded guilty to forgery, the district attorney’s office said. She faces sentencing for the forgery charge on March 25.
