According to court documents from the United States, Aigbokhan and his syndicate used a Business Email Compromise (BEC) scheme to impersonate officials from the Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee.
The group reportedly created fake email addresses that closely mimicked those of Steve Witkoff, a real estate magnate and co-chair of the event, to mislead an unsuspecting donor.
The group reportedly created fake email addresses that closely mimicked those of Steve Witkoff, a real estate magnate and co-chair of the event, to mislead an unsuspecting donor.
The scam was carried out on December 26, 2024, when the fraudsters successfully tricked the donor into transferring 250,300 USDT.ETH, a form of cryptocurrency, valued at over ₦400 million at the time.
The funds were immediately dispersed across multiple digital wallets, with about 215,000 USDT.ETH moved within a few days.
Prompt action by the FBI and cryptocurrency company Tether led to the detection of the fraudulent transaction, with the affected accounts frozen by December 31.
Further investigation traced Aigbokhan’s operations to Lagos, Nigeria, prompting intensified efforts by U.S. authorities to clamp down on the syndicate.
Aigbokhan is also being sought in connection with other cryptocurrency-related fraud and money laundering activities.

ReplyDeleteThese people get mind o
ReplyDeleteWhat these yahoo guys don't know is that the FBI has actually sent agents from the US who are permanently based in Nigeria now. These agents operate from EFCC offices in Lagos and Abuja.
ReplyDeleteIn other words, if they pick interest in you, EFCC has no option but to come after you. Nothing like that miserable 500k settlement EFCC collects from Yahoo boys.
But I like seeing the bright side of everything. If the FBI arrests you, they'll take you to face trial in the US and you will serve your sentence there. In other words, you will japa on the US governments bill. Hmmmmm... Not a bad idea when you consider it.
All Japa na Japa o.
When you tell them it's only a matter of time before they are caught,they will yarn opata.
