There is hard evidence otherwise there would not have been an indictment. They are being charged by the federal government on behalf of the plaintiffs. I can assure you that one of them has already turned on the rest and told the Feds everything.
salute to all fraudsters defrauding American citizens making them die of heart attack. I salute all drug dealers pushing narcotics into every US. cities, destroying the youths future and making them turn guns on themselves. American imperialism won't last long, that was the last word Fidel Castro told me in Cuba. He said control your anger and desperation, even if the crash of America doesn't happen in your lifetime you will surely smile from the grave when it does. But i cant wait that long. Every night I wish I had control over North Korea nuclear weapons so I can barbecued all American in a nuclear holocaust. The more fraudsters and drug dealers you arrest the more drugs and crimes you will see in your cities. Seeing Americans dying is my favorite pastime. Sometimes I even forget my seeds, I just want everybody in America to die. America kills over 50million globally citizens annually through financial imperialism, their sins wont go unpunished. Now u bitch who can't get no dick from nowhere, bend over and let me fvck u like a dog then throw u away inside the gutter. Mumu thought she was talking to one of those mumu college PhD educated boys u easily turn to mumu and chop their money. I am a street ogogoro drinking boy. When I fvck u, u pay me.

Seven Nigerian men who acted as middlemen to receive $8 million proceeds of romance scams from the victims of Nigerian Internet fraudsters infamously called Yahoo Boys have been arrested and charged to court.

The suspects were identified as Bolanle Christina Odeyale, 39, Forney, Texas; Oghenemine Jeffrey Agbroko, 34, of Nigeria; Charles Owhonigho Emurotu, 40, of Ontario, Canada; Jimmy Iwezu, 44, of Forney, Texas; Lori Tsoritse, 38, of Nigeria; Christopher Onyedikachi Okereke, 38, of Nigeria; and Rukevwe Solomon Ologban, 44, of Grand Prairie, Texas, from March 2018 through June 2019, working with a group of individuals in the District of Utah, aka the Utah Money Transmitters, who agreed to help overseas operators launder money obtained from the romance scheme. The primary operators of the alleged romance scams are known as the “Yahoo boys,” and operated in Nigeria.

The defendants either helped the Utah Money Transmitters source opportunities to work with Yahoo boys or helped them to transmit the fraud proceeds from the District of Utah to other places within the United States or abroad. Ultimately, the goal of the money laundering activities was to transmit the criminal proceeds to the Yahoo boys overseas, while paying a share of the financial gains to those who help move the funds along the way.

As alleged in the indictment, the Yahoo boys typically created a fictitious online persona and used the false persona to pursue online relationships with potential targets of the scam. Once gaining the victims’ trust, the Yahoo boys would use false pretence, such as the need to buy a laptop for a child in college, the need to repair equipment, pay an emergency medical expense or debt to the government. Many of the victims were elderly and lost their life savings, family inheritances and retirement funds. In return for their generosity, the victims were often promised the money would be returned.

An essential role in the romance scam was the Utah Money Transmitters. By operating in the District of Utah, they opened accounts at United States financial institutions to be used to collect money from victims and to distribute money to the co-conspirators, to conceal the ultimate destination of the funds and the Yahoo boys’ location and identities.

The defendants are charged with various federal crimes, including wire fraud, wire fraud conspiracy, and money laundering conspiracy. Their initial court appearance on the indictment will be scheduled for a later date and held before a U.S. Magistrate Judge at the Orrin G. Hatch United States District Courthouse in downtown Salt Lake City.

They went for the jugular of the elderly folks in Utah. They'll be spending a long time behind bars. In any event, those folks got sucked into the trap of the scammers through ignorance and greed, but thank goodness, they'll largely get their stolen funds back with the intervention of the Feds.
