United States Department of Justice has charged 11 Nigerians for conspiracy to commit money laundering, commit bank fraud and aggravated identity theft.<\/p>\n

The eleven Nigerians were on Wednesday October 13, indicted in connection with their involvement in laundering millions of dollars in proceeds derived from business email compromises and romance fraud schemes.<\/p>\n

The suspects were identified as Adedayo John, Oluwadamilola Akinpelu, Kazeem Raheem, Morakinyo Gbeyide and Warris Adenuga a.k.a Blue, Smart Agunbiade, Lateef Goloba, Samsondeen Goloba, Olawale Olaniyan, Olawoyin Peter Olanrewaju and Emmanuel Oronsaye-Ajayi,<\/p>\n

The charges were announced after their indictment were unsealed by Damian Williams, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York and Patrick J. Freaney, the Special Agent-in-Charge of the New York Field Office of the United States Secret Service.<\/p>\n

The defendants were accused of allegedly utilizing a myriad of fraud schemes, including romance scams<\/a> and business email compromises, to defraud over 50 victims in excess of $9 million.<\/p>\n

In some instances, business email compromise fraud schemes were used to trick businesses into transferring funds to bank accounts the victims believed were under the control of legitimate recipients of the funds as part of normal business operations, when in fact the bank accounts were under the control of the Defendants or their co-conspirators.<\/p>\n

In other instances, romance scams were used, primarily through electronic messages sent via email, text messaging, social media, or online dating websites, to deceive victims, many of whom were vulnerable older men and women into believing they were in romantic relationships with fake identities, and then using false pretenses to cause the victims to transfer funds to bank accounts controlled by the Defendants or their co-conspirators.<\/p>\n

The statement shared on the website of the US Department of Justice, reads; “Damian Williams, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and Patrick J. Freaney, the Special Agent-in-Charge of the New York Field Office of the United States Secret Service (\u201cSecret Service\u201d), announced today the unsealing of an Indictment charging 11 defendants with conspiracy to commit money laundering<\/a>, conspiracy to commit bank fraud, and aggravated identity theft, in connection with their involvement in laundering millions of dollars in proceeds derived from business email compromises and romance fraud schemes. Nine defendants were arrested today in the District of New Jersey and the Eastern District of New York, and will be presented this afternoon before United States Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn in the Southern District of New York. One defendant was arrested in the Southern District of Texas, and will be presented today in that district\u2019s federal court. One defendant remains at large.<\/p>\n

“U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said: \u201cAs alleged, the defendants were part of a criminal enterprise that not only defrauded businesses by assuming the online identities of legitimate counterparties, but also preyed on vulnerable elderly people, deceiving victims into sending money in phony romance scams. Thanks to the Secret Service, the defendants are now facing federal felony charges.\u201d<\/p>\n

Secret Service Special Agent-in-Charge Patrick J. Freaney said: \u201cAs the continued threat posed by cyber enabled fraud<\/a> remains ever present, the U.S. Secret Service remains steadfast in its pursuit of those who threaten our collective financial security. This case is no exception, as the defendants allegedly utilized a myriad of fraud schemes, to include romance scams and business email compromises, to defraud over 50 victims in excess of $9 million. Due to the efforts of the Secret Service and our partners at the New York City Police Department Financial Crimes Task Force, this organized group will no longer be able to operate its alleged scheme to defraud and will answer the charges brought against them in the Southern District of New York.\u201d<\/p>\n

As alleged in the Indictment unsealed in Manhattan federal court: ADEDAYO JOHN, OLUWADAMILOLA AKINPELU, KAZEEM RAHEEM, MORAKINYO GBEYIDE, WARRIS ADENUGA, a\/k\/a \u201cBlue,\u201d SMART AGUNBIADE, LATEEF GOLOBA, SAMSONDEEN GOLOBA, OLAWALE OLANIYAN, OLAWOYIN PETER OLAREWAJU, and EMMANUEL ORONSAYE-AJAYI (collectively, the \u201cDefendants\u201d) participated in one or both of a money laundering conspiracy and bank fraud conspiracy, which received funds stolen from victims.<\/p>\n

Victims were typically defrauded in one of two ways. In some instances, business email compromise fraud schemes were used to trick businesses into transferring funds to bank accounts the victims believed were under the control of legitimate recipients of the funds as part of normal business operations, when in fact the bank accounts were under the control of the Defendants or their co-conspirators. In other instances, romance scams were used, primarily through electronic messages sent via email, text messaging, social media, or online dating websites, to deceive victims \u2013 many of whom were vulnerable older men and women \u2013 into believing they were in romantic relationships with fake identities, and then using false pretenses to cause the victims to transfer funds to bank accounts controlled by the Defendants or their co-conspirators.<\/p>\n

As a result of these frauds, law enforcement officers have identified more than 50 victims who have transferred more than $9 million to bank accounts under the control of the Defendants.<\/p>\n

Ten defendants \u2013 ADEDAYO JOHN, 32, OLUWADAMILOLA AKINPELU, 26, KAZEEM RAHEEM, 29, MORAKINYO GBEYIDE, 39, WARRIS ADENUGA, a\/k\/a \u201cBlue,\u201d 26, LATEEF GOLOBA, 27, SAMSONDEEN GOLOBA, 29, OLAWALE OLANIYAN, 41, OLAWOYIN PETER OLAREWAJU, 34, and EMMANUEL ORONSAYE-AJAYI, 30 \u2013 are each charged with one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. Nine defendants \u2013 ADEDAYO JOHN, 32, SMART AGUNBIADE, 28, OLUWADAMILOLA AKINPELU, 26, MORAKINYO GBEYIDE, 39, WARRIS ADENUGA, a\/k\/a \u201cBlue,\u201d 26, LATEEF GOLOBA, 27, SAMSONDEEN GOLOBA, 29, OLAWOYIN PETER OLAREWAJU, 34, and EMMANUEL ORONSAYE-AJAYI, 30 \u2013 are each charged with one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud, which carries a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison. One defendant \u2013 MORAKINYO GBEYIDE, 39 \u2013 is also charged with one count of aggravated identity theft, which carries a mandatory consecutive sentence of two years in prison. The maximum potential penalties are prescribed by Congress and are provided here for informational purposes only, as any sentencing of the defendants would be determined by a judge.<\/p>\n

Mr. Williams praised the outstanding investigative work of the Secret Service. The case is being handled by the Office\u2019s General Crimes Unit. Assistant United States Attorneys Kaylan E. Lasky and Matthew Weinberg are in charge of the prosecution.<\/p>\n

The charges contained in the Indictment are merely allegations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
