MediaNGN:
A Nigerian citizen who had been living in Canada was on Monday, March 4, sentenced by U.S. federal court to 10 years in prison for obstructing justice in a multi-million dollar fraud case.

Michael Adefemi Adeyemo, also known as Adekunle Olufeni Adetiloye, was previously sentenced in 2012 in North Dakota to serve 17 years and six months for a multi-million dollar credit card fraud scheme involving more than 20 banks in the U.S., according to a Justice Department news release.

At the time, it was the largest credit card fraud suffered by US Bank and the Discover Card Bank in their histories.

Years after the 2012 sentencing, authorities discovered Adeyemo, 47, took steps to conceal his prior residency in the U.S. as a legal permanent resident, that he was a licensed attorney in Nigeria and that he was a fugitive with an outstanding warrant in California from 2001 for another fraud scheme.

A jury found him guilty of concealing this evidence from authorities to reduce his 2012 sentence.

Sentencing Adeyemo to 10 years in prison, District Judge Linda Reade in Iowa said Adeyemo showed a "callous disregard of the laws of the United States."

"This case was investigated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. “The U.S. Postal Inspection Service has been and will always be relentless in the pursuit of facts throughout a criminal investigation,” said Bill Hedrick, Inspector in Charge of the Denver Division of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, which includes North Dakota. “Postal Inspectors know this and take great pride in their search to find the truth. Through the diligence of our Inspector and others in this case, we were able to bring the defendant to face justice for the full scope of his crimes,” said Hedrick. “We appreciate the dedicated effort of all those involved in this case, including the U.S. Postal Inspection Service Forensic Lab, and agents from Homeland Security Investigations.”

I don't understand how the jury came up with such a verdict.

It is not the duty of the accused to reveal evidence against himself. He has the right to remain silent.

It says: "authorities discovered Adeyemo, 47, took steps to conceal his prior residency in the U.S. as a legal permanent resident, that he was a licensed attorney in Nigeria and that he was a fugitive with an outstanding warrant in California from 2001 for another fraud scheme."

TOOK STEPS, means he actively concealed/destroyed/tampered with evidence that would have gotten him longer sentence than the prior 17 years, thereby interfering with the court's ability to pursue justice fully.
Concealing evidence of a crime is illegal, and is considered a felony in most cases.

Example: hiding a gun used for a bank robbery is different from not saying the name of the person who wield the gun when asked by the court. The former is tampering with evidence, for the latter...you can plead the fifth (in USA).

It is started years ago, just google. Americans are smart, the watch foreigners coming to US from the day 1, FBI usually collects lots of info on each one but don't touch them when they are small, once they get millions, boom, jail, even getting them extradited from any country and there are millions to confiscate, it's a good income and big case for American government.

Nigerian Gets 14 Years in US Prison for Leading Fraud Ring. July 27, 2018
AUSTIN, TEXAS (AP) — A Nigerian man must serve 14 years in a U.S. prison for leading a fraud ring that prosecutors in Texas say laundered $3.5 million from hundreds of victims.

Ochuko Sylvester Eruotor was sentenced Friday in Austin. The 42-year-old Eruotor, who lived in Canada, must also repay nearly $1.7 million.

Eruotor last December was extradited from Germany. He pleaded guilty in February to conspiracy to commit money laundering.

Prosecutors linked Eruotor to a money laundering network in which victims were targeted with false reports of relatives in jail, fake investments, tax fraud and romance scams.

Prosecutors say Eruotor was the eighth person convicted and sentenced to federal prison. The others were earlier sentenced to prison terms ranging from 10 months to nine years.
