Defendants in Michigan Money Laundering Scheme Plead Guilty

GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN – All five defendants charged with conspiring to launder proceeds for Nigerian sex extortionists have pleaded guilty. The guilty pleas were announced by Acting U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Michigan Andrew Birge.

The defendants are Dinsimore Guyton Robinson, 29, of Huntsville, Alabama; Kendall Ormond London, 32, of Lithonia, Georgia; Brian Keith Coldmon, Jr., 30, of Peachtree Corners, Georgia; Jarell Daivon Williams, 31, of McDonough, Georgia; and Johnathan Demetrius Green, 32, of Stone Mountain, Georgia. Each defendant pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to launder money, a felony offense punishable by up to 20 years in prison.

The indictment alleges that the conspirators used online payment systems to collect sextortion proceeds and send them to a Nigerian individual they referred to as “The Plug.” According to the indictment, the sextortionists had boys and young men create nude images. After the sextortionists received those images, they allegedly had the victims send funds to the U.S.-based money launderers through online payment systems like Apple Pay, Cash App, and Zelle. The money launderers would keep about 20 percent of the money, convert the rest to bitcoin, and send the bitcoin to The Plug in Nigeria, who kept a portion and then sent the remainder to the sextortionists.

The indictment alleges that conspirators laundered the funds of sextortion victims, including Jordan DeMay. In November 2022, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Michigan charged three Nigerian nationals in a sextortion scheme that resulted in the death of Jordan DeMay, a 17-year-old high school student from Marquette, Michigan, and targeted more than 100 other victims. Two of the three defendants in that case were extradited to the United States in August 2023 and pleaded guilty in April 2024 and were later sentenced.

Acting U.S. Attorney Birge said, “These individuals helped and profited from this awful, heartbreaking scheme and so they now will face the consequences.” The court will decide the sentences upon consultation with federal sentencing guidelines and the individual circumstances.

The FBI provides the following tips on how people can protect themselves from sextortion schemes: Be selective about what you share online. If your social media accounts are open to everyone, a predator may be able to figure out a lot of information about you. Be wary of anyone you encounter for the first time online. Block or ignore messages from strangers. Be aware that people can pretend to be anything or anyone online. Videos and photos are not proof that people are who they claim to be. Images can be altered or stolen. In some cases, predators have even taken over the social media accounts of their victims.
