SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 28 – Tokumboh Adeogun was
presented on charged of bank
fraud and aggrevated identity
theft on January 28 before
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge James L.
Cott.
According to the underlying
complaint, Tokumboh Adeogun's
scheme got a lottery-seeking
victim to wire money from
Simmons Bank in Arkansas to a
fraudulent account at
SunTrust, now Truist Bank.
Wells Fargo Bank was also
used.
During the
presentment, Magistrate Judge
Cott informed Tokumboh Adeogun
of his right of consular
notification, but did not ask
- perhaps from good intentions
- whether Tokumboh Adeogun is
or is not a US citizen. One
wonders from online research
whether Nigerian diplomats in
New York including Amina J.
Mohammed or Tijjani
Muhammad-Bande are aware, or
care.
Online research also finds
previously complaints against
a Tokumboh Adeogun, like here:
"i started to talk to this guy
, he say he lives in England .
i ordered 5 phones from him...
first he say to pay 50% to
gain my confidence and the
rest after package receive.
after one day he say to me the
package was stopped in ucraina
[sic] and will not go if i not
pay the rest of 50%, so i pay
the rest of 50%. after 4-5
days he told me that the
package arrived in port and is
blocked there and i should pay
more money , then i realized
that something was wrong and i
refused to send more money.
The name of who i paid is :
tokumboh adeogun, 537 chester
street brooklyn, new
york."
So why did
Wells Fargo and SunTrust /
Truist open those accounts?
Inner City Press will continue
to follow this. The case is US
v. Adeogun, 20-cr-38 (Castel /
Cott).
