A 31-year-old Ghanaian has been found guilty of Fraud and Money Laundering in a Southern District of West Virginia of the United States of America.
31-year-old Abdul Inusah who is said to be the son of a former Minister of State in Ghana, Innusah Fuseini, faces up to 50 years jail term for colluding with others and defrauding individuals in multiple states through the use of false online personas.
Evidence at trial revealed that Inusah was part of a conspiracy that targeted victims using false personas via email, text messaging, and online dating and social media websites.
From at least January 2018 through at least December 2019, the scheme sought to induce victims into believing they were in a romantic relationship, friendship, or business relationship with various false personas.
The victims were persuaded to send money for a variety of false and fraudulent reasons for the benefit of the false personas.
