A US court has sentenced Nigerian, Shalom Olumide Ayotunde to 46 months in jail and ordered him to pay restitution in the amount of $1,067,000 (N439,113,180).
Ayotunde, 39, was sentenced by US District Judge Amos L. Mazzant, III on charges of passport fraud, false claim to US citizenship, wire fraud, and false statement to a financial institution.

He had pleaded guilty to the charges on July 1, 2021. The crimes were committed in the Eastern District of Texas.
In a statement by the US Department of Justice on Thursday, it was revealed that Ayotunde’s crimes were federal criminal offences.

According to court documents, in June 2018, Ayotunde provided false identifying information in his application for a US passport, and in doing so, also falsely claimed to be a US citizen.

Ayotunde was also involved in falsifying information in connection with numerous applications for Payment Protection Program loans, and ultimately received more than $1 million in fraudulent PPP loan proceeds.

Additionally, evidence showed that Ayotunde was part of a conspiracy to defraud companies through business email compromise schemes and acted as a money mule when he knowingly received and transferred proceeds of fraudulent activity.

Evidence showed that Ayotunde received or attempted to receive more than $800,000 in stolen funds.
A federal grand jury had returned an indictment charging Ayotunde with federal violations on November 13, 2020.

Despite all the antagonism you sometimes face here, I want to believe that in the depth of your heart you are a good person. Might not necessarily see eye-to-eye with you on several of your opinions (the political ones) but when it comes to issues of empathy and humanity I'm often amazed at how I align with your views and positions. Continue being you irrespective of whether I (or the several other haters here) like you or not

Too slow in everything...

Elianawalker:
Fraud is like a hall mark on Nigerian men today.

Sometimes I wonder how many year it would take to wipe that off

post=109669029:

Try to condemn all manner of fraud outrightly.
Instead of looking at the names of the perpetrateor before knowing what to comment.

TRIBALISM will lead you no where.
This is 2022 for Krissake, not like 1960's that your politicians have used tribal, religion politics to blind people.

Youths should be Wiser by now please.
Change your ways.
BE THE CHANGE YOU WANNA SEE.

SAY NO TO FRAUD.
SAY NO TO TRIBALISM.
