Yahoo! 53 Years Old Nigerian Man, Bags 3 Years In U.S Prison For Internet Fraud by Fivmill: 7:37am On Nov 01, 2018
A Nigerian man was, on Tuesday, sentenced to 3 years and 4 months in prison, for taking part in years-long schemes that defrauded unwitting people from the U.S. and other countries of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Clement Onuama, 53, owned a legitimate auto sales and repair business near Arlington, Texas, which prosecutors said became a front for an operation that laundered money gained through a systemic and long-term fleecing of gullible persons.

Onuama, from Lagos, was also ordered to pay $409,639 in restitution. In addition, the court ordered Onuama to forfeit as a personal money judgment, $409,639 in ill-gotten gains.

Onuama’s co-conspirator, Orefo Okeke, was sentenced by Judge Conley on October 18, 2018, to 45 months imprisonment, and ordered to pay $582,955.90 in restitution to the victims.

On July 17, 2018, Onuama pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering.

Okeke and Onuama participated in multiple frauds by means of wires, including: romance frauds, business email compromises, identity theft, bank account takeovers, and credit card fraud.

Onuama was found responsible for causing a fraud loss of $1,076,602.

You can't eat your cake and have it in advanced countries. Sorry sir but is good to cool your head in that prison cos it's even better than to come here called Nigeria. Nigeria is like a tyre which a nail has punctured .You will always be deflated here no matter how much you bring from abroad.
