A Nigerian In US Gets 34 Years Jail Term For Defrauding Charities, Old People by Wisemfon(m): 10:25pm On Apr 02, 2021
Babatope Joseph Aderinoye, a Nigerian living in the US, has been sentenced to 34 years in prison for fraudulently obtaining millions of dollars from several people.

Aderinoye, 30, also scammed a charity based in Fort Worth, Texas, of $100,000.
According to Fox4news, his fraud scheme targeted senior citizens, a north Texas school district, and the Fort Worth charity which provides financial aid to families of terminally ill patients.

Kristina Robertson, founder of the charity, said her bank had noticed a suspicious email request for a transfer .
“I think he was just fishing and kind of seeing who he could catch,” she said.
“I think we were very naive at the time thinking that it would not happen to us even though we were taking what we thought were appropriate procedures. They weren’t enough.”

The FBI said Aderinoye stole more than $6.7 million from his victims and used fake passports to set up 13 fake businesses and 40 bank accounts.
Aderinoye and his accomplices were said to have encouraged their victims to wire money which they subsequently transferred to a Nigerian bank account.

He was said to have unsuccessfully attempted to steal money from a school district. The school thwarted his attempt and reported him to the authorities, which resulted in the FBI’s investigation.
Nicholas Ganjei, the acting US attorney, 7243 the fraud committed by Aderinoye is a threat to the country’s financial system.
He said: “The types of fraud committed by Mr. Aderinoye and his co-conspirators not only have lasting ramifications for the affected victims but also threaten the integrity of our country’s financial systems.”

This is one of the reasons why Nigerians are not given visas to go to other countries.

You deserve 70 years

You still carry that spirit of fraud that has destroyed nigeria and gave nigeria a bad name to obodo oyinbo


When you got to a functional system where you don't need to do fraud before you succeed


I pray you are brutally raped by hornny gays to the point you can't stand ,sit or walk

Where you will be begging for death but you will refuse to die

Where your soap will be falling down several times in the bathroom

Where maniacs will be taking turns to suck your penis till it bleeds and by the time you're out you're a bag of diseases like STD,herpes and HIV.you will be useless to yourself and a nuisance to your family

Where you will constantly eat remenants of dog food and expired human food

People like you has what has caused Nigerians loose industries,savingst, investments and lives because of your shortsightedness

It's people like you that make other people even Ghana lasan lasan not respect Nigerians because when they see Nigerians the first thing that comes to their mind is here comes another crook

You see old people and pensioners who have worked All their lives in conducive and unconducive conditions to put food on their table and fend for their families and retire at old age yet you want to strip them if all the monies they'll use for their welfare and health.you are a desperately wicked soul.youre lucky with the type of judgement you were given

So assuming that you SUCEEDED with your EVIL plans, you'll come to Nigeria and be flossing and the. Buy chieftaincy titles from old fools, charlatans and money worshippers who have no iota of dignity when it comes to money

If you have any relations who have been scammed ,the way you Will see yahoo boys will be different
