You see. This technique is called phishing. Nothing spectacular about it. I receive phishing text messages once in a while from scammers trying to get hold of my account. We get emails everynow and then at work about phishing email targeting cooperations. it's more popular than you think and it's far from complex.

I know about phishing and a lot of other scams formats I just don't have any little trust for any form of US agency their lies and deception is out of this world

The FBI will question and scan his knowledge, if he is very smart, they will strike a deal, turning him to their dog while you are here masturbating over the matter

What even made you think that FBI needs his "knowledge"? Try to read the story of Aaron Swartz, you will know that those craps only occur in movies.
Phising is the cheapest form of internet fraud. I don't think the guy has anything special to offer. He was just lucky in such a way that his victim is a mega rich company.

What invictus commited was a classic/slam dunk case of phishing.

FBI arrested Invictus Obi at the airport just before ‘escaping’ US — risks 20 years in prison

Obinwanne Okeke, Invictus Group CEO, who is popularly known as Invictus Obi, was arrested at the Dulles International Airport, while leaving the United States, TheCable can report.

According to information obtained from the US federal court in Virginia, US, Okeke was scheduled to return to Nigeria four day after a complaint was filed against him at the court, and was arrested at the airport, just before he got on the flight to Nigeria.

An order of detention pending trial was filed on August 2, 2019, on the grounds that “by a preponderance of evidence that no condition or combination of conditions of release will reasonably assure the defendant’s (Okeke) appearance as required”.

A source familiar about the matter told TheCable via mail that “the attached court documents from the US federal court in Norfolk, Virginia confirm that Okeke was indeed arrested by the FBI, on August 6 at the Dulles International Airport”.

According to his arrest warrant obtained by TheCable, he was taken for violation of US laws as it concerns “conspiracy to commit computer fraud” and “conspiracy to commit wire fraud”.


The Arrest Warrant

The affidavit sworn by Marshall Ward, a special agent with FBI, had said as of August 2, 2019, “the date of this application, OKEKE is currently in the United States, and is scheduled to depart the country on August 6, 2019”.

“Therefore, a warrant for his arrest is immediately required to apprehend him and prevent his retum to Nigeria, where he would be beyond the reach of U.S. law enforcement.”

THE BACKGROUND

In June 2018, Unatrac Holding Limited, a company which deals in sales of heavy industrial and farm equipment, was said to have approached the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) over a breach in the email account of its chief financial officer where a fraudulent transfer of funds was done.

The intruder was said to have sent phishing emails containing a web link, purportedly to the login page of the CFO’s online email account hosted by Microsoft Office 365.

Believing the link to be genuine, the CFO was said to have imputed his username and password from where the intruder got full access to the account and sent a fraudulent wire transfer request to the company’s internal financial team.

Acting under the impression that the email emanated from the CFO, the finance staff processed approximately 15 payments between April 11 to 19, 2018, totalling $11 million.

‘INVICTUS OBI MAY GET CLOSE TO 20-YEAR JAIL TERM’


Okeke, who requested to for substitution of legal counsel is now being represented by John O. Iweanoge, II and THE IWEANOGES FIRM. The Iweanoges took over from Rahul Sharma, a US federal public defender.

Based on precedence, Okeke could get between five and twenty years jail term for conspiracy to commit computer and wire fraud.

According to the Legal Information Institute, anyone who “knowingly and with intent to defraud, accesses a protected computer without authorization, or exceeds authorized access, and by means of such conduct furthers the intended fraud and obtains anything of value, unless the object of the fraud and the thing obtained consists only of the use of the computer and the value of such use is not more than $5,000 in any 1-year period”.

If the financial value of information taken exceeds $5,000, the convicted shall be subject to a fine or imprisonment for not more than ten years, or both.

As for wire fraud, a person convicted for a single act of wire fraud can result in fines and up to 20 years in prison, according to criminal defence attorneys in the United States.

Persons familiar with wire fraud cases in the US told TheCable that a combination of these sentences could result in a higher jail term for the estranged Nigerian entrepreneur.

Okeke has since faded of social media.

You watch too much of movies. For you to have thought FBI would strike a deal with him. Those with more advanced internet frauds are behind the bar in US.

Invictus obi don give bloggers story to tell for the rest of the year

Where's the photo of his arrest?? These are nothing but fabricated lies!

you're the one narrowing your mind. Striking a deal and turning him to a dog mean many things. It can be a reduced sentence in exchange of information about his accomplices and everything he knows about their shady deed. Stop trying to form too know you are not half as smart as you believe
BTW, how do you know his fraud technique wasn't advanced, Because FBI it was phishing? They could just be lying so as to not end up teach other scammers a new format

CyberWolf:
The same moronic hypocrites displaying their rotten sanctimonious attitude here are the same people praising Keyamo in his resolve to stand by his friend who was also arrested for same offense. We’re all Nigerians and we know ourselves..

Shut up, please.

Stop embarrassing yourself, your family and your schooling.

MoonWater:
make this matter rest abeg... The guy has been apprehended, fine. He might have made his mistake, let everyone move on.
There is large scale fraud going on under your nose here in Nigeria no one is bothering about

Mistake is an understatement.He was listed in Forbes magazine.
He is an international fraud.

All I can say is Hustlers hustle ooo.. na only time e go take.

Some businesses survive on kidnapping.

May the ills of society you accept visit your home.

shut up your mouth you mugu. There is no solution to any of the problems that found itself into life. A trillion FBI cant stop crime, likewise a trillion soldiers cant stop a guerilla warefare. These are natural laws of man. Come back here in 4023 people will still be stealing from one other. No solution, we live with it

Gbam.

It's sad we're going to be losing such a brilliant young man to the American system. Let the holy cast stones, let the wise learn.

Sad as it is, many people spitting bile and acid regarding this issue depend on this dirty money directly or indirectly to survive; they just don't know it.

I know businesses that feed whole families, pay salaries, send children to school that would have crumbled if they were not constantly patronized by "these guys" people are talking about.

Bros, this is not a justification for fraud. Fraud is fraud, no matter what good the money is used for. For once, let us all stand on the side of truth so that history won't judge us wrongly. All those who have been hustling legitimately to meet up their financial obligations, dem no get two heads.


Cyber crime, Internet fraud is a crime and should be treated as such. Period!

Afamed:

Stop saying rubbish. Obinwane had the option of either
using his talent to become another Mark Zuckerberg or the the most fugitive fraud criminals like Angel Logos and Ashot Sanamran. You are just another criminal element. You didn't know Obinwane was also robbing other people and sending them to their early grave through his various dubious activities

and you think mark zuckerberg is clean? You are seriously under a brainwashing spell. Americans are the real definition of fraud, the whole United States wealth was built on fraud and thievery

He's not clean but have you seen his name under FBI list? These are kind of people FBI wants you to emulate. As long as your work is legitimate. You can earn $b in US

lilbest4:

I totally concur.

If the Authorities come up with one security measure, criminals will invent 2 new counter measures. That's how the cycle goes on.

My anger is that why should someone who is into fraud be writing motivational books or speech? Which kind self deceit be that one?

Are you kidding me, with ill-gotten wealth? What about the honest and young businesses that are obtaining loans to genuinely start their business? The likes of Tony Elemelu that allows Entrepreneurs to apply for grants by peaching their ideas.
He defrauded and he should face the music alone, there is no justification for stealing. CALL A SPADE A SPADE

So this is how Forbes do their useless rating. We are watching as the game unfolds.

Owerri boys are simply not exposed to the companies due to their local nature.

Playing football in Owerri is same game played in Camp nou.

lmao he's not my mentor, I've never heard that name until now. Everything is possible in this world he might be out in 3-5 years if he has valuable information about other criminals and their techniques.
I'm not saying he will I'm simply not ruling out the possibility
