Romance Scammers in SDNY Said Francisco Needs Funds For Oil Wells So Feb 1 Next

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Nov 2 – Abuchi Shedrach Felix and five others are charged in a money laundering conspiracy involving romance scams.         

  On November 2 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Katherine Polk Failla held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.  

 The conspirators, the complaint says, used the last name Francisco and used online photos of a male model.

 They would ask their victims for money saying, for example, that Francisco was "an architect who had traveled to Dubai and needed funds in order to receive several million dollars in payment." Or, Francisco need funds to repair his oil well.

   Judge Failla gave 90 days before the next conference, on February 1 at 4 pm.

The case is  US v. Felix, et al., 21-cr-472 (Failla)
