Twenty-five individuals have been convicted for their involvement in an international fraud and money laundering operation that allegedly defrauded more than 1,000 victims of approximately $215 million.
Court evidence revealed that the scheme targeted individuals, businesses, and organisations across the United States through cyber intrusions linked to Nigerian-based fraud networks. The operation affected victims in 47 U.S. states and extended across 19 countries.
Authorities said the convicted defendants participated in a large-scale “business email compromise” scheme, a form of cyber fraud in which criminals gain access to email accounts to deceive victims into transferring funds.
The case exposed a complex network of fraud and financial crimes that operated across multiple jurisdictions and resulted in significant financial losses for victims worldwide.
