A 34-year-old Nigerian man who illegally resided in Houston has been ordered to prison for his involvement in numerous Business Email Compromise (BEC) schemes.

Samson Olugbenga Oyekunle aka Evertipsysmiley, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud Oct, 6, 2017. Today, U.S. District Judge Melinda Harmon ordered Oyekunle to serve 63 months in federal prison.

He initially came to the United States on a student visa, but not a U.S. citizen, he is expected to face deportation proceedings following his sentence.

At the hearing, a victim spoke before the court as to how this case has devastatingly affected him and his law practice. Judge Harmon further ordered Oyekunle to pay restitution to the victims he defrauded.

BEC fraud is a sophisticated fraud targeting businesses that regularly perform wire transfer payments.

The fraud is carried out by compromising legitimate business e-mail accounts through social engineering or computer intrusion techniques to conduct unauthorized transfers of funds.

From on or about Jan. 1, 2016, through February 2, 2017, Samson Oyekunle was involved in numerous BEC schemes.

Co-conspirators, working outside the United States, caused funds obtained through a variety of BEC schemes to be wire transferred into the various bank accounts Oyekunle fraudulently opened.

A total of 30 fraudulent wire transfers totaling $823,765 were taken from victims across the United States under false pretenses and were deposited into these accounts.

He has just been scammed for been arrested

Hes just an honest “Afonjah” ajah is a consonant..

With such a pseudonym he deserves a life sentence. Looking through the pictures one can tell he's a low life trying to appear higher than his worth. Thank God for the US justice system, he's going to physically bulk up in prison.

This little monkey appears to be infected with AIDS, if that skeletal appearance is anything to go by.

Hopefully he will not infect other jail inmates with his nasty disease, when they tear him a brand new anus during his long stay in da Big House.
