According to one of the girls, Onwuhara “doesn’t make the money rain, he made it thunderstorm”


"The boy is an enigma," says one of his sisters. "What can I tell you?"

Intriguing. Absolutely intriguing. They should make a movie out of this guy. Reminds me of the wolf of Wallstreet.

With all the crapy stories from the Hollywood, they would still reject this thrilling life story

Whether you like it or not, Tobe has made his name and is set for greater heights.

I see him easily getting a book deal that will definitely see a Hollywood movie about his hustle.

I see him working with FBI and opening up a financial security firm.

I see him going on tours and holding seminars for blue chipped companies.

I even believe he was instrumental in Invictus arrest.

So go and die with your jealousy
Hmm, what is the good thing to be jealous of about a criminal, iiiigbos, used to love them buh you guys are sick, if anyone points at your Bleep up then he is jealous, jealous of what? Only God can help you guys, you are genetically sick.

As long as you revere and worship that small time drug pusher, then you've no moral right to complain about Tobe.

If you even read the article you will see how even the Feds gave him maximum respect.

Speechless. Guy who pull this kinda hustle off are simply very intelligent and smart.

You simply get caught when you start showcasing.


Exactly, if only they can go low key and come up with a business empire to take eyes off them, it will be difficult to catch them.

Awesome read, I wonder what they were using all the money for and why they could not desist from a life of crime.

at a point it stops being about the money and then becomes about the thrill & fun
initially they go into it because of monetary gains, once the monetary gains have been met to a certain degree, they now remain in the game because of the fun of beating the system

Yea...5 years and about 8 months on it...life begins at 40 so he can still make it!

He is an American. A Nigerian-American will attain a huge feat in America and America will say, “he is an American”. But when one of theirs attain a criminal feat, they will go and do a research of his ancestry in Nigeria. Na lie.

He is an American.

America should carry and claim their property.

His other siblings who are Nigerians, born in Nigeria did not have this story on their head.

It's dangerous putting details of how he carried out his crimes on the internet.

Many rookies would begin to use them.
That rookie would be caught those security lapses have been amended.

Why the greed?... Is there really no point where these people actually step on the brakes, and realize that they have stolen enough?... Negroes!!! Smh. undecided
It gets to a point, they stop doing it for the money but for thw thrill involved in breaking security systems.
Have you ever circumvented a supposed strong security rule?
The feeling is indescribable.

He was a very lucky man.

The post where he was arrested is separate from the original post. Did you read the post because if you did you would have seen the post of his arrest is different from the original post which ended with the fbi were still looking for him.

70 months plus he will he monitored for 5 years.
This is a non violent crime so he will most likely end up in a minimum security prison no violence. Almost like a holiday camp. I think the idea is by the time that 5 years is up it will be very difficult to start rebuilding those networks and the systems would have been upgraded significantly. Even the crimi als wont want to associate with him for fear of him being an informant.
