They(AMERICA)set him up.
#RACISM undecided

They have LAWS against what is called ENTRAPMENT! He would have been acquitted if there was any hint of such.

The fact he recruited fours others is testimony to his guilt.

Because it was in America some want to scream RACISM, but if it happen in Nigeria and he was scamming money from Nigerians what would be the attitude then I wonder?

USA is not Nigeria where you can keep stealing and keep your government job or remain in politics indefinitely while you bring your children into government jobs to continue the stealing.

If most of our so called Government and Political leaders where in civilized countries they would be in prison and the stolen money they have in UK, US and Swiss banks returned to the people of Nigeria. GEJ - prison for you and your friends very soon!

CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE – Olowaseun Adekoya, 29, a Nigerian National living in Sewaren, NJ, was sentenced in United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire to 37 months in prison, after being convicted by a jury of bank fraud and conspiracy to commit bank fraud in New Hampshire, announced United States Attorney John P. Kacavas.

Between September 26, 2013 and October 2, 2013, Adekoya communicated on-line with an undercover agent who had taken over the identity of a criminal with whom Adekoya had previously done business. The undercover agent advised Adekoya that he could create counterfeit ATM cards which Adekoya could use to fraudulently obtain money from banks in New Hampshire. As a result of those discussions, on October 1, 2013 Adekoya sent four individuals from New Jersey to Manchester, New Hampshire to engage in what he thought would be a $960,000 ATM bank fraud. The undercover agent and Adekoya had agreed that Adekoya would come to Manchester, NH and bring four “soldiers” with him, and that all five of them would each take 40 counterfeit ATM cards and travel to ATMs in Manchester, under cover of darkness, and fraudulently withdraw almost a million dollars.

Late on the evening of October 1, 2013 Adekoya’s four co-conspirators flew to New Hampshire and went to an agreed upon location where they picked up what they thought were 200 counterfeit ATM cards. In the early morning hours of October 2, 2013, the four then proceeded to ATM machines, where they were arrested. Mr. Adekoya, having not flown to New Hampshire with his confederates, was arrested at his home in Sewaren, NJ. The four co-conspirators, Darrell Harris, Adebayo Adegbesan, Kamau Brown and Aubrie Banks, all pled guilty before trial and two of them testified against Adekoya.

The case was investigated by the U.S. Secret Service with assistance from the United States Postal Inspection Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Arnold H. Huftalen.

Typical America

When foreigners make them proud, they call them Americans but when they become terrorists, fraudsters etc, they identify them by their country of origin.

The guy was actually not naturalised as a US citizen yet and so was CORRECTLY described! The issue here is that a filthy criminal has been caught NOT that some people are rabidly anti western!

entrapment would have sufficed if his co-defendants didn't testify against the main culprit. it's a shame - most sting operations are ridden with entrapment.

would this dude have normally committed an ATM crime without the law enforcer egging him on? what is his criminal history? the action of the police might have caused him to commit the crime & that right there is entrapment.

Typical Yorubas, when a Yoruba does something worthwile, you make sure everyone knows he's Yoruba, when he commits crime, you call him an American or Briton.
When an Igbo man commits crime, you ascribe it to his tribe, when a Yoruba man commits crime, you find a way to justify or excuse him.

It is a little more complicated than that.

Note also: It was trial by JURY. Many of the jurors would be black to avoid ANY hint of discrimination or racism.

Did you read the thread well?

how did you know all the jury would be black? when has that ever happened? what's the percentage of black people in america for a 12-man jury to be all black?

that's circumstantial evidence.
that adekoya had online conversation with someone doesn't make him a criminal. how are we sure it was him that made the chat & not someone else?

why wasn't he tried for the prior offence? has he ever been convicted of any crime in the past? what is his criminal history? if he has always been a law abiding citizen then it could be argued that this is a clear case of entrapment!

a black man in america is always presumed guilty until proven innocent.

Exactly my thoughts. You cannot go online undercover and try to lure people to commit crimes then you convict them. The thing is that there is a chance that man has never engaged in this act before and was only unlucky to be contacted by the cop. The real criminals are out there and they commit more wicked monetary offences online and they never get caught!

especially when it's a non-violent crime like ATM fraud. this is a classic case of entrapment. even the officer himself would go with such a plan if someone pitches it to him to go to an ATM and pick free money.

I think you're overlooking the conspiracy bit.

However, 37 months is on the extreme side - in saner climes, he shouldn't get more than 12 months max. Unless they can link him to other crimes, especially via incriminating things at his house.

the nature of the crime means he couldn't have committed it alone. they were going to attack ATMs and withdraw as much as possible to beat the normal daily limit.

the officer knew what he was doing. he asked for 4 soldiers before the commission of the crime. this kinda sting operation is unethical & its poor policing.

Do you know HOW Juries are selected? NO defence lawyer would allow a July without a significant number of black people on it. I did not say ALL that was YOUR assumption - read the post again.

HE HAD PREVIOUSLY DONE BUSINESS... i.e. BEFORE the FBI assumed the identity of the other criminal and he continued to communicate with them for months before ACTIVELY involving four others in his scheme!

What is really going on here is that you are sorry this piece of filth got caught! When he has served his sentence he should (and probably will) be deported back to Nigeria.
