The duo bagged a 22 years combined jail term in federal prison. Their sentence was announced by acting U.S. Attorney Chad E. Meacham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a statement by the United States Attorney\u2019s Office, Northern District of Texas, titled, \u2018Nigerian Email Scammers Sentenced to Combined 22+ Years in Federal Prison,\u2019 Adeoso pleaded guilty in June of 2020 to 17 counts of wire fraud, eight counts of money laundering, six counts of use of a false passport, one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, Ifebajo pleaded guilty to seven counts of wire fraud, six counts of money laundering, four counts of use of a false passport, one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The statement read, \u201cTwo Nigerian fraudsters arrested in DOJ\u2019s Operation reWired have been sentenced to a combined 22 \u00bd years in federal prison, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Chad E. Meacham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOpeyemi Abidemi Adeoso, 46, pleaded guilty in June of 2020 to 17 counts of wire fraud, eight counts of money laundering, six counts of use of a false passport, one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering. He was sentenced Thursday by Chief U.S. District Judge Barbara M.G. Lynn to 151 months in federal prison and ordered to pay $9.3 million in restitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHis co-conspirator, Benjamin Adeleke Ifebajo, 47, pleaded guilty in March 2020 to seven counts of wire fraud, six counts of money laundering, four counts of use of a false passport, one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering. He was sentenced in June to 120 months in federal prison and ordered to pay $2.1 million in restitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese defendants utilised multiple tactics to deceive unsuspecting businesses out of their money. By assuming fictitious identities, they defrauded dozens, which risks business health and in turn, erodes overall economic health,\u201d said FBI Dallas Special Agent in Charge Matthew J. DeSarno. \u201cAlong with our federal law enforcement partners, we will continue to hold fraudsters accountable for their crimes and the harm they cause.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was gathered that law enforcement agents initiated an investigation into the pair in August 2018, after receiving a report of a business email compromise scheme from a victim who had transferred more than $504,000 into a bank account registered to a \u201cDaniel Sammy Campbell<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the address associated with the account, they traced it back to Adeoso. The law enforcement officers then reviewed bank surveillance footage and traced funds to identify Adeoso and Ifebajo who are Nigerian nationals in the U.S on non-immigrant visas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to court documents, the defendants admitted they fraudulent passports to open individual bank accounts under assumed names. Other members of the conspiracy then sent phishing emails \u2013 which spoofed the email addresses of victims\u2019 employers, supervisors, and other known business contacts \u2013 to numerous individuals prompting them to initiate wire transfers from their personal bank accounts or from their employer\u2019s bank accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOnce the money hit the defendants\u2019 accounts, they withdrew the money, often tens of thousands of dollars at a time, in cash, via cashiers\u2019 checks, or through electronic transfer, then deposited the funds into other alias accounts. Occasionally, they made purchases with the money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMr Adeoso is believed to have used aliases including, but not limited to; Peter Kuffor, George Macharty, Nelson Johnson, Braheem Larke, Michael Albert, Michael Jaden Sean, Michael Jeff Brown, and Benjamin Zee Brown. Mr. Ifebajo is believed to have used aliases including, but not limited to: Joseph Eric Johnson, Jeremiah Alex Malcom, Tidwell Anthony Wilson, and Andrew James Williams,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreso, a third co-conspirator, Temitope Aminat Folorunsho, 35, pleaded guilty in July 2020 to multiple counts of wire fraud, money laundering, use of false passport, and conspiracy and was sentenced in July 2021 to 37 months in federal prison and ordered to pay roughly $221,000 in restitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms Folorunsho used the aliases Terri L. Brown, Michelle Angel Cole, Robyn L. Granell, and Deborah Kiki Philip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Federal Bureau of Investigation\u2019s Dallas Field Office, the U.S. Diplomatic Security Service, and Homeland Security Investigations\u2019 Dallas Field Office conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Tiffany H. Eggers prosecuted the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: Punch<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two Nigerians, Opeyemi Abidemi Adeoso, 46, and Benjamin Adeleke Ifebajo, 47, have been jailed in the US for internet fraud.
