As a ransomware negotiator for the company DigitalMint, Florida resident Angelo Martino’s job was “to negotiate with cybercriminals to mitigate the ransoms paid by [DigitalMint’s] clients,” the US government said in a sentencing memorandum on Tuesday. “Instead, Martino provided the cybercriminals with confidential negotiation information to maximize the ransoms in exchange for a portion of the ransom payments. Five of the victims whom Martino was supposed to help paid over $75 million to ransomware affiliates, including likely millions of dollars in ransom demands inflated as a result of the confidential information provided by Martino.”

Martino, 41, pleaded guilty and asked for a 24-month sentence, noting that he “provided substantial assistance that contributed to the indictment and conviction of two co-defendants.” As described in this November 2025 article, the co-defendants were Texas resident Kevin Martin, a ransomware negotiator for DigitalMint, and Georgia resident Ryan Goldberg, an incident manager at security firm Sygnia.
