NIGERIAN SCAMMERS PURLOINED $5.6 MILLION

FACES DECADES IN FEDERAL PRISON

In early March a Texas federal jury convicted an Indiana man who was a participant in an “advance-fee scheme” which defrauded victims and funneled some $5.6 million of their cash to Nigeria.

From February 2015 to January 2018, TN (52) of Indianapolis, made phony promises of investment funding and transfer of inheritance money subject to the victims first forwarding cash to US bank account which were controlled by TN. Those funds were then forwarded his Nigerian cohorts.

Convicted of “conspiracy to commit money laundering and concealment money laundering,” TN is scheduled to be sentenced on June 13 and faces up to 20 years in prison on each count.

Looks like he’s about to inherit lengthy jail time.
