During the Chicago-based investigation, dubbed “Operation Gold Phish,” law enforcement identified a variety of cyber-enabled fraud schemes allegedly carried out by conspirators in the U.S. and Nigeria.
A criminal complaint filed Dec. 4, 2018, in U.S. District Court in Chicago charged nine defendants with conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Arrests were recently carried out in Illinois, Texas, and Nigeria, and all of the defendants are now in law enforcement custody. The Nigerian EFCC is conducting a related investigation of other individuals in Nigeria.
Arrested on the U.S. charges in Illinois were Daniel Samuel Eta, 35, Babatunde Ladehinde Labiyi, 20, Barnabas Oghenerukevwe Edjieh, 29, Kwam 1’s son, Sultan Omogbadebo Anifowoshe, 26, aka Ayinde; Babatunde Ibraheem Akarigidi, 39, Miracle Ayokunle Okunola, 21, Olurotimi Akitunde Idowu, 55.
Adewale Anthony Adewumi, 27, was arrested in Texas, and Olaniyi Adeleye Ogungbaiye, 26, aka DonChiChi, was arrested in Lagos, Nigeria.
Once the group got the money, they funneled the proceeds into their personal bank accounts or overseas, often Nigeria, the affidavit said. At least three times, the money was used to pay for vehicles on behalf of a Nigerian car company owned by one of the defendants.
The charge in the complaint carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. From information.ng

ReplyDeleteAlot of these musicians in the 80s did additional business,they didn't get rich by only singing. Money wasn't even in music as it is now. And many of them owned homes allover the world with multiple wives and kids.

ReplyDeleteLike father like son ,
ReplyDeleteThey never hear..there is no amount of smartness or super computer that will make you escape law enforcement in USA. They will catch you one day. They always know you, just that they have to build enough evidence to arrest you. And most times its greed. Many Nigerians even well paid doctors, nurses are in jail for insurance fraud. And once you start, difficult to stop. Fraud and free money things are addictive. Life abroad is hard but better to get a credit card and pay later, than fraud. Cos once they catch you, you lose everything.. your money, your home, even your kids sef. Of course some run to Nig to avoid arrest but tomorrow when they have health needs they try to enter usa and get arrested at the airport. I know a guy it happened to. He's over 60 and in jail for fraud he did years ago, but he said he's glad to be getting free healthcare in jail. Well..
