Man behind deepfake Biden robocall indicted on felony charges, faces
$6M fine

FCC wants to hit this political genius with first-of-a-kind punishment

The political consultant who admitted paying $150 to create a deepfake
anti-Biden robocall has been indicted on charges of felony voter
suppression and misdemeanor impersonation of a candidate.

Steven Kramer, 54, of New Orleans, also faces a $6 million fine from
the FCC for the bogus call, which used AI-generated voice cloning
technology to impersonate President Joe Biden and caller ID spoofing
to hide the source.
