BALTIMORE â Andrey Shuklin, the leader of a nationwide moving scam that defrauded hundreds of consumers, pleaded guilty to his role in the racketeering conspiracy on Monday.
WMAR-2 News Mallory Sofastaii first reported on the moving scheme in 2017. In 2018, 12 people were federally indicted in a moving enterprise that involved nearly a dozen different companies and spanned more than 5 years.
The defendants were accused of holding customers goods hostage, extorting victims into paying more money, and entering into contracts that they had no intention of honoring.
