SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 9 – Oladayo Oladokun and a
dozen others are charged with
bank fraud and identity theft.
The complaint
against them says the
conspiracy opened more than
sixty bank
accounts.
On December 9, 2020 U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Katherine Polk Failla
held a proceeding. Inner City
Press covered it.
The scheme
involved accounts with names
like Front Paige Events,
PepCo, and King Metal Fencing.
One of the
defense counsel's phone froze
just as waiving Speedy Trial
Act time was discussed. He
returned, apologized and
agreed.
Oladokun was
initially detained, then freed
so as to go to the gym for his
diabetes. But it emerged he
used the 90 minute windows to
go out to restaurants -
alleged because his mother had
returned to Nigeria. He was
detained again, and now
re-seeks release on bond,
pending in September 12
trial. The US opposes
it. Watch this site.
The case is US v.
Oladokun et al., 20-cr-3
