But why?

Why would he be doing wire wire from the US? These boys need to understand that if they're doing this from within the US, then it's only a matter of time before they get caught.

ibos invented using human head for making money, then it spread to other parts of the country.
They started trafficking drugs to other countries since independence and used the proceeds to start businesses in Nigeria.
They created 419 before other Nigerians heard of it

ibos are a cancer to Nigeria and Nigerian passport holders, until other Nigerians come together and do something about ibos, it will get worse for other Nigerians.

the most painful part is yahoo yahoo fraud is highly rampant in united state of America. The more FBI is mounting pressure on yahoo crimes the more it spring bigger than expected.
You are right there are more repeate offenders than first timers, simply because they get just a slap on the wrist, what is 46 months compared to millions of $ in fraud . The USA justice system is too mild on fraudsters that why it will never stop.

Like I said, if you got any self respect, just let them go.

I've mastered my emotional reactions to your kind. Calling names reflects who you are, and it goes to show how hate has robbed you of your humanity.

You never bothered to check, but concluded that I am Igbo. I'm not going to be dragged into Nigerians and Biafrans mess. Biafra might not happen today but it'll surely happen, mark those words

If I check well sef na small pikin we go call me broda, I dey follow carp so o, lols

What more do i need to say?

Amechi Colvis Amuegbunam

The Judge should not deport him, as we are having serious problems with his cousins in ABIA State now. And if sent back to Nigeria, he will take his frustrations out on innocent people, in the name of Biafra.

Sooooo

Just lock him up. And after he finishes serving his sentence, we are begging you to still

Lock him up for even thinking about the crime the first time.

A 30-year-old Nigerian man who scammed several U.S. companies out of millions of dollars by posing as the CEO has been sentenced to 46 months in prison.
According to Dallas Morning News, Amechi Colvis Amuegbunam achieved this by creating email accounts that made it look as if he were a company executive and then asked employees handling accounts to wire money wherever he wanted, most often to foreign banks.
Last week, he was sentenced to 46 months in prison for scamming more than 10 victims out of $3.7 million. He originally faced up to 30 years if convicted by a jury, but his lawyer argued in court documents that Amuegbunam did not have any previous criminal record and was not a danger to society.
In addition to his prison stint, Amuegbunam will have to pay $615,555 in restitution for his use of this scam, known as a “business email compromise scheme,” which the Morning News notes has become a crime of choice for some organized crime groups in Africa, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, according to the FBI.
Amuegbunam was arrested in 2015 in Baltimore and pleaded guilty back in March to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. The 30-year-old was living in the U.S. on a student visa at the time of his crimes. His lawyer, Ezekiel Tyson, said that he was pleased with the sentence that his client received.

“Mr. Amuegbunam has grown tremendously as a person and as a man throughout the process of this criminal case,” Tyson said. “He is absolutely one of the most intelligent and creative individuals I have ever represented.”

Amuegbunam will be deported back to Nigeria after finishing up his sentence, Tyson confirmed. Tyson said that Amuegbunam had plans to become a farmer and produce organic pesticides, going along a different path from the sophisticated scam that he pulled off.

“I expect once he puts his intelligence, creativity and drive towards legitimate enterprises, he will have a very positive future,” Tyson said. “Mr. Amuegbunam also plans to do his best to repay the restitution he owes to the victim companies.”

US should just employ him in crime control unit there. Nigeria is already stressed up with political crime, IPOB, Boko haram etc.

We do not need internationally trained gee to come and add up with home-grown gee.
