Lamborghini Urus, Porsche and Tesla Among Cars Bought With Nearly $10M Stolen From Amazon

A Georgia woman has been sentenced to more than 16 years in federal prison after she and her partner orchestrated a scheme that defrauded Amazon of nearly $10 million, with the stolen money used to purchase luxury vehicles such as a 2019 Lamborghini Urus, a 2021 Dodge Durango, a 2022 Tesla Model X, a 2018 Porsche Panamera, and a Kawasaki ZX636 motorcycle. The purchases also included a nearly $1 million home in Smyrna, Georgia.

According to a press release by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia, Brittany Hudson, 40, of Atlanta, was sentenced to 16 years and three months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. She was also ordered to pay Amazon $9.4 million in restitution. The court ordered her to forfeit more than $7.85 million and surrender her Smyrna residence and money seized from her bank account.

Hudson operated a business that contracted with Amazon to deliver packages and was in a relationship with Kayricka Wortham, who worked as an operations manager at an Amazon warehouse in Smyrna. Wortham had the authority to approve new vendors and vendor invoice payments.

Between January and June 2022, the pair created dozens of fake vendors in Amazon’s vendor system. Wortham and another co-conspirator approved the fraudulent vendor profiles, allowing Hudson and Wortham to submit more than 1,000 fictitious invoices for goods and services that had never been provided.

The fraudulent invoices resulted in approximately $9.4 million being transferred into bank accounts controlled by Hudson, Wortham and their co-conspirators. The women then used the proceeds to purchase these assets.

The fraud did not end with the Amazon scheme. While out on bond in January 2023, Hudson and Wortham attempted to secure a franchise agreement for a hookah lounge by falsely claiming that their Amazon-related criminal charges had been dismissed. They backed up the claim with counterfeit court documents containing forged signatures of judges and doctored financial statements showing inflated account balances.

A jury convicted Hudson in March 2026 of 30 felony offenses, including wire fraud, money laundering and forging a federal judge’s signature.

Wortham, 35, had been sentenced to 16 years in prison back in June 2023 for her role in the Amazon fraud. More recently, in March 2026, she received an additional consecutive year after pleading guilty to forging a federal judge’s signature, bringing her total sentence to 17 years. She was also ordered to forfeit more than $3 million, the Smyrna home, and the vehicles purchased with the fraudulent proceeds.

Announcing the sentence on August 26, U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg said:

“Hudson and her partner engineered a massive fraud scheme against Amazon, stealing nearly $10 million in just a few months. Hudson then showed utter contempt for the law by forging a federal judge’s signature in a failed effort to defraud another company while out on bond. Today’s significant sentence, which must be served without the possibility of parole, holds her accountable for her crime spree.”
