I don't get it, someone transferred money for the purpose of buying planes how does that translate to money laundering or did they say he got the money through illegal proceeds.

I knew Bubu and his agents will come for him because he failed to worship him. See them quickly washing away their hands thinking they have finally nailed him.

Make no mistake the plot is targeted on his airline business. That which Sirika cannot do with FG, this man is single handedly making it.

He should go there and win this one. They will likewise fail.

Naija way of thinking is always upside down. So you think they will give you more time because you denied a lawyer a job? NO. They give more time for 3 reasons - when you go to trial, you are in essence saying that you do not believe that you have really committed these offenses, hence you have not taking responsibility for your actions. This is very very big in front of any federal judge. The second and third reasons are that you have wasted the govt resources such as time and money to prosecute your case hence you deserve more time than those who simply accepted their guilt and didn't waste govt resources.

You are being very logical - saying what makes sense, how it should be. I am telling u how it actually is - and I don’t know why!

The second screenshot shows Forbes giving credence to the fact that he bought Gatwick airport.

His net worth is open to debate tho coz several websites (sources) gives different figures.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/mfonobongnsehe/2012/10/16/goldman-sachs-appoints-nigerian-banker-to-its-board/amp/
Your screenshot shows that the investment firm owns acquired a majority in Gatwick Airport. It is not his personal asset. As for is net worth it is estimated to be around 13 million dollars, far cry from 10billion dollars and certainly not enough to own a private luxury jet not to talk of an airport.

Maybe it is because if u plead not guilty there is a slight chance u r truly not guilty, though legally convicted. While if u yourself say u r guilty then it is 100% certain u r guilty. Makes sense?

For once she appears to make sense with her post. Questions we failed to ask at the onset regards Allen's source of wealth is now being asked by US. He better go answer the questions now. Meanwhile gradually all his aircrafts would be detained and frozen as proceeds from illegally sourced wealth. All the aircrafts lessors are bound to start calling in their planes. Boeing and other manufacturers might also sue for breach of contract. Man is literally f@cked for now.

The feds got a load of shit on him. He is done!

A good Government protects her citizens through thick and thin, but here it is operation pull him down.

I cannot believe our federal government said that. Upon all the good deeds he did for Nigerians during xenophobia. Even what FG lead by Buhari failed woefully to do. Now nobody seems to remember.

They don't know the failure of a Nigerian out there, especially an entrepreneur on a large world is a failure of a whole Nigeria in a way.

They should not abondon that man like that because we Nigerians are watching. When the time to do goodwill comes, we leave it for Federal Government. Since they lack brain to protect there own.

So because he conveyed Nigerians back from South Africa means he's now a sacred cow? Where do u lots get your kind of retrogressive reasoning from? Worship him all you want, we don't care. All we want him to do is go face his charges in the US because as it stands he's embarrassing our national image.. I know this means nothing to you because it's all you have always been known

Don't worry about all these people you have mentioned. At least the USA isn't looking for them. The focus is on onyema at the moment. Instead of you ipods to encourage him to go clear his name and pray he is not found guilty, ya'll are all over the internet blaming Yorubas and comparing him to other corrupt politicians.
so I’m automatically an ipob for not sharing the same view with you one of the problems we have in naija is we attach tribe to everything if I attack Tinubu automatically I’m an ipob if I attack Peter Obi I’m an Afonja we even prefer our tribe man who’s a known thief to be president instead of an Angel from another tribe smh

NO! The system is not based on feelings and sentiments.
Its very straight forward. If you plead guilty, an officer of the court will visit you for what is called a PSI (pre sentencing investigation) report that will be presented to the judge before your sentencing. This PSi will basically tell the judge what kind of time he can imposed on the accused based on the federal sentencing guidelines.
Anyone that pleads guilty and accept responsibility for their actions will get less time than those that went to trial. This is done to encourage people to plead guilty because if everyone should decide to go trial, the system will collapse. People get arrested everyday by the Feds for one crime or the other.
It's about 3pm on the east coast right now. There are people that will be arrested before 6am tomorrow morning and they have no clue right now. They are at home chilling right now not knowing that the feds will be banging on their doors bu 5am tomorrow morning. Once they come for you, you are done for.

Understandably because they were at a disadvantage, the south were overwhemingly more educated than the North. The reason why we got our independence in 1960 and not earlier was because the North didnt have qualified people and they were afraid of domination, events have proved them to be right, hence why today we have a system designed to curtail the south. That system and the power to dominate the south would never have fallen into the hands of the North if there was no coup. Coup ushered military and military changed the rules of engagement. If there was no 1966 coup, there was no way parliarment could have usurped regional autonomy.

Ironically the ibos would have been better off because they had control over all the oil in the Niger Delta and were receiving 50% of the revenue. Now the oil is in the hands of the North and the ibo states go cap in hand to Abuja begging for crumbs!

you are just proving my point. Unless one agrees with you people, one can never have peace. That is the genesis of the problem of Nigeria. Sardauna said it in the '60s.

Since 1979-1983, 1999-2015 Ibos had influence at the centre. The 1st time Ibos felt they were out of power in the centre since democracy, they started all the hate speech post 2015. there was no tribal warfare, hate speech and animosity until the ibos lost influence at the center..... it is not a coincidence that's your way!!

You can't but be sad and filled with a sense of foreboding when you read comments on Nairaland.
The two prominent tribes on this forum slugging it out as usual.
To think these people who are neighbors and fellow landlords, and even in-laws in real life and at times share customer/client relationship,are mortal enemies here is a cause for worry.
They keep accusing each other of what they are both guilty of.
When it's Igbo news,the tribalistic yorubas come out to yab and pass unprintable comments,and the igbos will be accusing them of being tribalistic and obsessed with them.
The moment it's a Yoruba news,the tribalists from the East too will come baring their fangs to call the Yorubas derogatory names,and of course the Yorubas too will accuse them of the very same thing the igbos accuse them of.
I hope Seun will be man enough to do the needful soon
Because Nairaland is fast becoming a hate zone
And I'm sure posterity will not forgive Seun if he continues to look the other way.

"I don't get it, someone transferred money for the purpose of buying planes how does that translate to money laundering or did they say he got the money through illegal proceeds."

This is the crime he committed according to us department of justice.

"Beginning in approximately May 2016, Onyema, together with Eghagha, allegedly used a series of export letters of credit to cause banks to transfer more than $20 million into Atlanta-based bank accounts controlled by Onyema. The letters of credit were purportedly to fund the purchase of five separate Boeing 737 passenger planes by Air Peace. The letters were supported by documents such as purchase agreements, bills of sale, and appraisals proving that Air Peace was purchasing the aircraft from Springfield Aviation Company LLC, a business registered in Georgia.

However, the supporting documents were fake — Springfield Aviation Company LLC, which is owned by Onyema and managed by a person with no connection to the aviation business, never owned the aircraft, and the company that allegedly drafted the appraisals did not exist. Eghagha allegedly participated in this scheme as well, directing the Springfield Aviation manager to sign and send false documents to banks and even using the manager’s identity to further the fraud. After Onyema received the money in the United States, he allegedly laundered over $16 million of the proceeds of the fraud by transferring it to other accounts.

Allen Ifechukwu Athan Onyema, 56, of Lagos, Nigeria, and Ejiroghene Eghagha, 37, of Lagos, Nigeria, were indicted on November 19, 2019, on one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud, three counts of bank fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit credit application fraud, and three counts of credit application fraud. Additionally, Onyema was charged with 27 counts of money laundering, and Eghagha was charged with one count of aggravated identity theft.

Members of the public are reminded that the indictment only contains charges. The defendants are presumed innocent of the charges and it will be the government’s burden to prove the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt at trial." -USDJ

You just summarizedit all. This is why I think Nairaland is aiding and abetting the hate on this forum.
I've suggested many face features to be introduced in this forum to curb this tribalism. Greed is the only thing in mind of Seun until the inevitable happens.
