Today CourtWatch discovered that the United States has officially charged Chouby Charleron a/k/a/ "The Real Jewt King" of running a 'TLO' service.

TLOxp is a service offered for debt collectors, employers, and law enforcement officers to perform background checks on individuals.

Chouby Charleron is alleged to have operated a TLO service from 2020 to 2023. Interestingly, Chouby Charleron charges did not originate from the FBI.

Authorities allege Chouby Charleron service resulted in doxxing campaigns, and social engineering campaigns used for fraud or extortion.

He is currently being charged for Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud which is punishable to a max of 20 years in prison and/or a $250,000 fine.
