Loan Case Against Bronx Businessman Stretches From Nigeria to Default in SDNY

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Maxwell Book
BBC - Honduras - CIA Trial Book - NY Mag

SDNY COURTHOUSE, August 16 – Tejuosho Olusina Adewale sued over loans to Olubunmi Adeola Akintoye, doing business at 455 Jackson Avenue in the South Bronx. 

 On August 16, 2022 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge John P. Cronan held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.

 At issue was a default judgment against the defendant. Judge Cronan said he had received and docketed a letter from a person describing themselves as a lawyer representing the defendant in Nigeria. But the name it was emailed from, and the counsel's name, did not line up.

  The plaintiff's counsel said his client had not filed a lawsuit in Nigeria but rather complained to the equivalent of the US FBI.

Judge Cronan granted the motion for default judgment and awarded a judgment of over $4,000,000.

The case is Adewale v. Akintoye, et al., 21-cv-9485 (Cronan)
