A brazen transnational crew swiped over $38 million from unsuspecting victims across the US and abroad in a sophisticated email scam.
The scheme, which began in August 2022, involved infiltrating email accounts, monitoring financial transactions, and impersonating trusted business partners to redirect payments to shell accounts.
Four defendants – Kelvin Owusu Nkwantabisa, John Jouissance, Leshea Moore, and Justice Amoh – pleaded guilty to roles in the scam, with Nkwantabisa leading the US-based operation.
US Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones slammed the scheme as ‘organized international fraud’ that ‘devastated’ companies and individuals.
