Between January 2019 and June 2020, bank accounts used by Lawal and his co-conspirators to launder money on behalf of the criminal organization received millions of dollars traced directly to individuals and businesses defrauded over the internet by members of the criminal organization.

Accounts Lawal controlled received over $3.6 million in deposits between January 2019 and May 2020. Those deposits were spread across seven different bank accounts Lawal opened in his own name or the name of his business entity, Luxe Logistics LLC. Ultimately, Lawal controlled bank accounts at no less than five different financial institutions in furtherance of his money laundering.
~~~~~~~~
My take on this issue:

Just $3.6 million in total was deposited in this dude's 7 bank accounts from January 2019 to May 2020 after scamming elderly folks.

It must be emphasized here that the Russian and other East European hackers carry out far more sophisticated and deadlier frauds running into millions of USD than the low-budget email scams that these guys (The Nigerian and his American accomplices) are accused of.
And they're rarely caught. Watch the movie documentary 'BILLION DOLLAR HEIST', it ran into millions

Indeed, very well said. I'll look up the documentary "Billion Dollar Heist" that you recommended here on YouTube. Thank you.

I'm only responding to this just so that you don't give readers wrong info about what I posted here.

Read my posts again with understanding. I NEVER said what the Nigerian dude and his American criminal accomplices did was okay, because elderly folks were also defrauded. I only emphasized here the ever-present danger of the more sophisticated Russian and East European hackers and their negative influence with reference to cybercrime.

Criminal activities like these should be a one time hit, move and clear tracks....
Doing more than once would attract lots of eyes and trackers on your deals....

Any transaction on the internet can be traced. Even crypto currency wallets now require KYC for validation. No matter the length of time it took, it's still just a matter of time to be caught and prosecuted. So, why do it if it has no worth?
We street ninjas know the risk that comes with the streets....this shit 50/50....you either succeed, get killed or end up in jail....we take the risk nevertheless hoping for better days🤲

Okay. And they don't always get away with their crimes, just because we don't read about their convictions doesn't mean Russians are not caught.

There are thousands of Russian and East European cyber criminals in American penitentiaries serving long term sentences.

They never think! Thesedays any transaction can be traced it doesn't matter how one tries to hide or forge anything, everything can be traced. There are a huge team of investigators paid huges amount of money to do these jobs allday all week and all month, night and day.
Ordinary driver license gave him away. In the developed nation, you can’t get away with things like this.Eventually they will get you. Unfortunately, guys don’t learn. We still have them across the states feeling invincible. It’s a matter of time.

It's a platform were you can help people sell their product. It basically has to do with affiliate marketing either by PPC or referrals.

If you japa and people ask to use your account to receive some inflow, NEVER!

Even for a cut. It’s not worth it

They’ll collect their money and you’ll later go to jail for it, not worth the money you’ll make
