SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 25 - In the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
on March 23, a detention or
bond proceeding was held by
Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn
on a man arrested said to have
been "writted in" from ICE,
charged with wire fraud.
The
defendant, Oluseun Omole, was
assigned a Criminal Justice
Act lawyer, though Judge
Netburn said the value of his
house might make him
ineligible. She said she did
not know how much equity is in
the house.
Omole
consented to detention without
prejudice to making an
application for bail later.
Jump cut to April
16, 2024, when he pled guilty:
"OLUSEUN MARTINS OMOLE, a/k/a
“Seun Omole,” pled guilty
today to conspiracy to commit
wire fraud for his
participation in a widespread
scheme to defraud thousands of
victims in the United States
and elsewhere of thousands of
consumer electronics and other
goods totaling more than $12
million. OMOLE pled
guilty before U.S. Magistrate
Judge Katharine H. Parker."
The plea
agreement is for 168 to 210
months, on Patreon here.
On September 5,
the US Attorney's Office wrote
in asking for 135 months.
On September 11,
Omole got 10 years: "OLUSEUN
MARTINS OMOLE, a/k/a “Seun
Omole,” was sentenced today to
10 years in prison by U.S.
District Judge Jesse M. Furman
for participating in a
large-scale fraud conspiracy
involving more than $16
million in consumer
electronics and other goods
that were fraudulently
obtained from thousands of
victims in the U.S. and
elsewhere."
Jump cut to April
25 when the US Attorney's
Office file opposition to
third party Olajide's motion
to have property shipped to
him in Nigeria; the US says,
only at an FBI office in the
US.
The case is USA
