Investigators say Romoy Forbes didn’t just steal food—he exploited the trust built into U.S. freight logistics. By hacking trucking carrier email accounts, he allegedly impersonated legitimate carriers, booked loads, and then redirected them to buyers in on the scam. The 33,750 pounds of frozen snow crab taken from a Massachusetts warehouse was bound for Florida, but never arrived; instead, prosecutors say Forbes diverted it to a Queens grocery operation he controlled, converting hacked emails into six figure stolen inventory. The DOJ links him to similar diversions of blueberries and high end cologne, showing how a single cyber weakness in a carrier’s inbox can cascade into physical theft. If convicted, he faces years in prison and hundreds of thousands in fines—and the case is a warning shot to small and mid size trucking firms about the cost of weak cyber hygiene.
