Hushbabi abi Hushpuppiness ni!

With such IT skills and knowledge, all she could think of using it for is scamming and fraud. I’m sure she would be more wealthy with that skill if she decided going legit, but greed wouldn’t allow her.

You did the crime before screen, enjoy the time behind walls. All na surfaces, curve or flat.
even if her skills won't make her super wealthy, it will earn her a decent living.... I knw alot of tech guys earning 4k monthly in Nigeria.... They said they won't relocate because the exchange rate favours them... They install solar, buy starlink dey enjoy their money for naija....
Dis one no jst get sense or she dey mingle with bad guys

The FBI won't give her a job.

Plus FBI can hire people that are as good as the criminal themselves to do the same.job without being a former criminal . After all they caught her without using ex criminals

She will be deported back to Nigeria when time is up.

Same as hush.
If you say so Bro and that will be very disgraceful. I think it'll be best for her as she'll now channel her intelligence towards positive means

I doubt she was into tech tech.
I have stumbled on her a few times and there was no career trail if you get what I mean. So I just left and didn't look back. If she was an actual tech-sis, why would she resort to fraud?
Greed is a thing sha.
according to the report she was the one that designed the phishing websites used for the crimes, it takes a techie to be able to design a websites that can deceive people into believing it is a legit govt site.

Some of you like capping thrash. There's nothing special about knowing how to spoof websites. I mean, that is one of the least things any programmer should know how to do with ease. So, FBI isn't going to release her on such ground or offer her a job.
Bros thanks for your advice. You see a lot of us ain't programmer inclined so if you wanna educate us, do so like a good teacher not as a condescending genius who live in a cocoon. Granted they may not offer her a job on that ground of her expertise. It was just an opinion. Now how about hacking FBI servers? Will that attempt eventually land the perpetrator a job?
Just asking

Everything tends to show she’s likely a Ghanaian claiming Nigeria

The name, her facial features and the syndicate she works with….

This babe is not Nigerian but it’s just convenient to drag Nigeria into the conversation angry

I guess (greed + bad company).
She would have lived comfortably with her legit salary going by my little observation of her. If she needs bulk money, she should organise masterclass __N10000 from at least 5000 newbies and everywhere would soft.😈

I'm no advocate for fraud and fraudulent lifestyle but I'll tell you this straight guys This lady is gonna be released from detention and given a job at the FBI doing what she knows best. FBI have among their members former black hats, spy masters and even former scammers. It's gonna be coded. Just wait and see. I'm waiting for another Nigerian who'll create a virus that will hack the server of FBI. That person will be the most wanted man or woman on earth. By the way I have an idea of the kinda virus to use but what fails me is the required knowledge of creating one. You see I happen to have a very rich imagination. With that virus you can hack FBI's servers without being caught unless someone leaks your secret.
It is a lie...

There are more than 1 million Tech Geeks in the US...

The US will leave the over 1 million, and employ a thief that has been sabotaging its citizen...

Instead of scam,
I'd rob a bank
Spend up all the grands
Make my stance
Stand my grounds
Popo exchanged another round
I'm hot on pounds
I shall not scam

Hope u understand.

You smell it? That's jealousy.

If you like carry cement for head in 2025 and keep hating those that have embraced new ways of making money.
What is wrong with carrying cement?

Did you read the comment that gave birth to mine? Did you ask the fellow why he would say such? There are a thousand new ways to make money online without being a fraud but someone in 2025 is saying people that work from home are fraudstars? Yet we wonder why our police behave like they do.

if you can use the Internet and can even read and comment on topics, then you should not be carrying cement on your head in this new era except in cases of extreme lack of opportunity, it should not be something to do.
