After search warrants were executed at multiple locations across L.A. County on Thursday morning, federal prosecutors announced a 252-count indictment that accuses 80 people in the U.S. and Nigeria of participating in a "massive conspiracy to steal millions of dollars through a variety of fraud schemes."

The defendants allegedly laundered the funds through a Los Angeles-based money laundering network. Eleven of them were arrested Thursday in Southern California, while three others were taken into custody elsewhere in the U.S., according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California.

Two were already in federal custody on other charges, and one was arrested earlier this week. The remaining defendants are believed to be abroad, most of them in Nigeria, authorities said.

According to the indictment, the accused used business email compromise frauds, romance scams and schemes targeting the elderly to defraud victims out of millions of dollars.

The co-conspirators allegedly contacted Valentine Iro, 31, of Carson, and Chukwudi Christogunus Igbokwe, 38, of Gardena, both Nigerian citizens, for bank and money-service accounts that could receive funds fraudulently obtained from victims.

The criminal complaint says Iro and Igbokwe, who were among the suspects arrested Thursday, conducted schemes that resulted in the transfer of at least $6 million in fraudulently obtained funds.

"The overall conspiracy was responsible for the attempted theft of at least $40 million," the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a statement.

���Young people are in a hurry to make money,hence they are not schooled about the spiritual aspect of making money?Money is a spirit and you can't just make money with empty hands, without belonging to evil marine hidden world knowingly or unknowingly and those preaching about money like you can't tell the spiritual secrets behind making money not just theory sermons and that's why we told those who care to listen no rich person ever reveals his hidden commitment to making wealth which is highly secretive,if you do how would you cross the evil check points mounted leading to the secret dark place where wealth is stored and hidden?Behold,Money needs protection spiritually if you don't protect it evil people must scatter your wealth for you,no two ways about it,its unbelievable truth and authority defined and declared? We reveal things unknown after the creation of the world and those who are rich and powerful spiritually read us and know who talks

All I see are people with a hard drive for success channeled in the wrong way. That the system is against our financial success does not mean we should spoil our image in the international systems. Now I'm more afraid of traveling to the US.

At least US&Nigeria can now have a bilateral Fraud tie... No b only 9ja although no be same pattern them they use for 9ja. So if u go US go do fraudno say your days won’t be numbered cos they already know what you are doing.
